Fran, fresh out of her job as a bridal consultant in her boyfriend’s shop, first appears on the doorstep of Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield peddling cosmetics, and quickly stumbled upon the opportunity to become The Nanny for his three children.

Reviews
Fran Fine, former bridal shop girl from Flushing, falls in with the rich Sheffield clan as the nanny, but soon Mr. Sheffield is in her sights, too. Wild and silly sitcom harkens back to I Love Lucy with Dresher's broad comedy antics. Transitions from more of a family sitcom to a show about the "will they/won't they" of Miss Fine and Mr. Sheffield. Easy to watch and always funny, especially for a former New Yorker like myself!
