Editorial Review:
"The 90's version of 'I Love Lucy'" - Viewers For Quality Television
Fran Drescher returns to clean house in this hilarious second season of The Nanny, available for the first time on DVD. One of television's most popular sitcoms, The Nanny took home an Emmy-Award in its second season for Best Costuming, making it the most fashionable show on television.
In season two, Fran Drescher , Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury Madeline Zima, and Renee Taylor are up to their same old tricks. Fran dresses like a man to infiltrate an exclusive all-male club; Mr. Sheffield dates a dead-ringer for Fran; Niles auditions for Maxwell's latest play; and Brighton's knack for cards lands him on Sylvia's canasta team. And that's only the beginning.
This 3-disc set includes all 26 original episodes from season two that will have you saying T.G.I.F. Thank Goodness It's Fran.
Description of The Nanny - The Complete Second Season:
In the second season of her renowned show (1993-1999), Fran Drescher sizzles as Nanny Fine, continuing her inimitable style of witty one-liners, physical comedy, and fashion flair, which unequivocally establishes The Nanny as one of the freshest and funniest sitcoms of the '90s. From the uproarious season opener, "Fran Lite"--where Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) dates a carbon copy of Fran--the 26 episodes in this three-disc set are breezy and brilliant. As the season unfolds, Fran is mistaken for a nurse, arrested for kidnapping a baby, and cast in a Broadway production. Sparks of affection continue to fly between Miss Fine and Mr. Sheffield (don’t miss "A Kiss is Just a Kiss"), while the razor-sharp repartee of C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane) and Niles (Daniel Davis) further fuels the hilarity. Guest stars include Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Sally Jesse Raphael, Erik Estrada, Shari Lewis and Lambchop, and Billy Ray Cyrus. Season One's supporting cast returns en masse, with more stage time given to Renée Taylor (as Sylvia Fine) and Ann Morgan Guilbert (as Yetta). Yet it is Drescher who is larger-than-life, stealing every show in a manner reminiscent of Lucille Ball, while peppering the plot with liberal doses of ribald, often risqué humor. Bonus material omitted. (Ages 12 and older) --Lynn Gibson
The Nanny - The Complete Second Season Reviews:
the nanny 
2009-10-01 - Had forgotten most of the good zingers between Niles and CC wish they would of had a spin off !Great set if you love the Nanny on that note we want season 4!!! or complete set!
funny! funny! funny!
2009-08-05 - season 2 of the nanny is even funnier than season 1. you'll love the characters of fran, niles, cc and mr. sheffield even more. it's a great show to watch at the end of the day when you need a big loud laugh. i just wish they added some special features to season 2 like funny outtakes or 'the making'. i can't wait to get my season 3!
Fab!
2009-02-10 - The Nanny series is just a delight. It's laugh-out-loud fun when sometimes real life is just too serious. Can't wait for the third season to come out.
THE NANNY IS "FAB!"
2009-01-22 - It would be difficult for me to select one particular season of probably the Greatest sit-com on television since I LOVE LUCY when it comes to the sit-com THE NANNY! But it is easy to select my FAVORITE episode and it is in the second season.
Episode #16 in the 2nd season was the choice for me. C. C. and the butler Niles are left behind when the Nanny and the family head off to a card tournament wherein Brighton is to play with the team. Almost at the end, you hear the song OLD TIME ROCK-N-ROLL begin and Niles comes sliding out on the floor in his underwear and a white shirt with black sunglasses on. He begins to pretend he is singing the song. Then, shortly into it, in walks C. C. and catches him. As Niles whirls he sees she is watching. He stops as though he were a child who's just been caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. He just stands there. When the live audience stops laughing, he states: "You know this means I'll have to kill you!"
I laughed and laughed until my sides hurt and tears flowed from my eyes. The two of them appear in the show to NOT LIKE each other and the chemistry which is between them is CONSTANTLY funny. Both taking verbal PUNCHES at each other constantly. But this one was the GREATEST and FUNNIEST.
That gives you an idea about the humor which is true humor in the finest style on The Nanny. I love all the episodes. As well as the characters, etc.
Would I recommend this product or any season of The Nanny? You can bet the English Crown I would!
For not since I LOVE LUCY has there been a truly funny sit-com like this. And probably won't be for another 50 years.
unexpected taxes
2008-12-23 - I live in Italy and have already ordered many items on amazon.com and never needed to pay taxes. This time the surprise was that I had to. But maybe it's my mistake not have read carefully the explanation about delivery, country of origin etc. Otherwise everything went smooth, fast and without problems. Thanks
