The Nanny was an American sitcom that first aired on November 3, 1993 on CBS . It starred Fran Drescher as “the nanny named Fran” (as Ann Hampton Callaway sang in the theme she wrote). Six seasons were aired; the show ended its run in 1999.
The show was produced by Sternin/Fraser Ink, Inc. and High School Sweethearts Productions, in association with and distributed by TriStar Television. The Nanny was executive produced by Drescher and her then-husband Peter Marc Jacobson, who was her high school sweetheart.
Along with Rhoda, Seinfeld, and Will & Grace it is one of a handful of successful American comedies with an explicitly Jewish main character. Many of the characters in the series (Sylvia, her mother, Morty, her father, and Yetta, her grandmother) were named after Fran Drescher’s real family.
