La niñera

I watched this show growing up and missed on a lot of the humour. Now, in my mid thirties this show is purely genius.

I never watched this show when it was on network television--I don't really know why, but, as of this comment, it is on the Lifetime Network and that is where I watch the show. I initially thought I would watch one episode, then never watch it again. How wrong I was on that one!! Okay, that nasal voice of Fran Drescher may irritate some, but heck, it works for the character and besides, that is her real voice. The entire cast was great all throughout the series, except the oldest daughter. For some reason, her character was the worst of the lot.

Renee Taylor was especially funny, as it seemed Sylvia was always eating or thinking about food and Ann Morgan Guibert was superb as Yetta. It is hard to imagine that this is the same woman who was "Millie" on "The Dick Van Dyke Show"!! I read somewhere that this show was the 90's version of "I Love Lucy" and in a way, I can see the comparisons. Wish the powers that be would release this show on DVD.

This was a good show. Funny, sometimes a little immature or

vulgar, but overall quite good. Has anyone else noticed that since

the late '90s there have been almost no shows that have a woman

as the main charactar? (Ellen was another) Most shows today are

family shows that revolve around the husband or father. I think this

was one of the last lady shows. I used to love Fran Fine's outfits!

The wardrobe people really knew what they were doing with her.

Honestly, this was my childhood and it still gets a laugh out of me even in adulthood. It's delightfully ridiculous while being set in situations that can still be somewhat relatable. It's nothing too serious, but it does have moments of charm and emotion and while you can watch most episodes on their own in any order you like it's likewise rewarding watching them in order, not even because you'll miss anything - because you largely won't - but because it leaves you feeling more like you've grown up witht the characters, which is nice. And speaking of the characters, they are by in large a joy to watch, from the nanny herself, to CC, Niles and even the kids, they all really grow on you. Sure, not all the jokes carry over into different languages and some things in the show are better left in fiction, but it's still a blast and I'm sure I'll keep revisiting this show.

i really enjoy this show. there are re-runs on lifetime and i stay up later just to watch them. i get a lot of laughs. fran drescher is one of a kind. her nasal voice and her queens accent is adorable. i used to watch it long before it was canceled but not religiously. i'm starting to really enjoy it. the chemistry between all the actors is wonderful. i would suggest it to anyone. 9 stars out of 10.
