AUGUST 2
Network Celebrates Launch With Week-Long Nightly Marathons Of
Hilarious Star-Studded Episodes From Series
New York, NY, July 29, 2010 - Worlds and cultures collide between a
sassy Queens nanny and an upper class Manhattan family when "The
Nanny" joins TV Land beginning Monday, August 2 at 6PM ET/PT. The
network celebrates the arrival of the outspoken Fran Fine each
weeknight from Monday, August 2nd through Friday, August 6th with
star-studded mini-marathons featuring guest stars such as Roseanne
Barr, Ray Romano, Jay Leno, Harry Hamlin, Joan Collins, Billy Ray
Cyrus, Elizabeth Taylor and more. Plus, viewers will get the inside
scoop on how Fran went from nanny to wife as TV Land features the
highs and lows of Fran's romance with Broadway producer and boss,
Maxwell Sheffield with romantic episodes on Saturday, August 7th from
12PM - 9PM and Sunday, August 8th from 12PM - 10PM ET/PT. Beginning
August 9th, "The Nanny" can be seen weeknights at 8:00PM ET/PT on TV
Land.
"'The Nanny' is the perfect companion to our other modern classics
'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'Roseanne'," states TV Land senior vice
president of programming and acquisitions Jaclyn Cohen. "Millions of
viewers tuned in every week to this timeless and entertaining series
because they couldn't resist Fran Drescher's endearing character, the
talented cast and the show's quick-witted writing."
Drescher starred in this beloved '90s sitcom as Fran Fine, a bubbly
and nasal-voiced Queens native who was fired from her job and
abandoned by her boyfriend. Eventually selling cosmetics door to door,
she meets a rich, widowed English Broadway producer named Maxwell
Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) and is taken for an applicant for the
job of nanny to Maxwell's three children Maggie (Nicholle Tom),
Brighton (Benjamin Salisbury), and Grace (Madeline Zima). Her
nurturing style includes out-of-the-ordinary techniques coupled with a
tell-it-like-it-is attitude which made the children, the butler, Niles
(Daniel Davis) - and eventually her boss - fall in love with her. Also
complementing the exceptional cast was Fran's food-loving mother,
Sylvia (Ren?e Taylor) and Maxwell's partner and Niles' arch-enemy,
C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane). Drescher was nominated twice for an Emmy?
and the show received countless awards including a TV Land Award in
2008 for Favorite Nanny. "The Nanny" ran on CBS from 1993-1999.

It's been on sister station Nick for a while now. The show is funny
but gets wearing after a short while. Many of the jokes are too
obvious.
Interesting seeing a younger Billy Ray Cyrus in one episode and Fran
crawling all over him.
Interesting today seeing the roles the youngest daughter (Zima) now
plays. The oldest daughter did some Lifetime movies.

Another reason not to watch TV Land.

The oldest daughter (Nicholle Tom) has also done guest spots on The
Mentalist, Castle, Cold Case, Without a Trace, etc. She did an ep of
"Criminal Minds" where she played the oldest of three kids whose
parents were murdered in their home many years back, a case that
haunted Rossi.

Honestly, I don't even know if we GET TVLand any more. If so, I have no
idea what the channel number is.

Possibly, but for how long before it drifts like TVland did?

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

I guess this means they'll be playing this all the time instead of
Everyone Loves Raymond.
