The Nanny — Season 5
The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran.
About this season
The fashionably funny Fran Drescher is back for more in the fifth season of The Nanny, the nineties sitcom with style and flair to spare. In Season Five, Fran Fine is fully ensconced as the comedic caregiver to the Sheffield children. But her "Will they or won't they?" romance with dreamy Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield just might lead to a big promotion—from babysitter to bride! Will the producer pop the question? Will the nanny tie the knot?
