More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for The Nanny Season 1 All Critics (11) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1) The writing in the show is only average... But Fran Drescher alone makes The Nanny worth a look for those who like their comedy with a dose of chutzpah. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Fran Fine's appeal overshadows all in a series that's a nice little nosh of a comedy if not exactly a banquet of laughs. Sep 6, 2018 | Full Review… Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Top Critic But instead of being a mere reheating of the old format, The Nanny is fresh and markedly sassy, thanks to a spirited and altogether winning performance by Fran Drescher in the title role. Sep 6, 2018 | Full Review… Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune Top Critic Shrewdly crude, The Nanny sure ain't no Friends rip-off, and that's something of a blessing. Sep 6, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Top Critic Fran Fine is a character we still don't get to see enough of, even today in the Age of Golden Televisions: a likeable but flawed lady-protagonist. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… Bethy Squires New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic The plot of "The Nanny" is simple: "The Sound of Music" without music. Feb 14, 2018 | Full Review… David Bianculli New York Daily News Top Critic Playful banter and mild sexual innuendoes are the heart of the show's humor. Sep 6, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Drescher takes formula sitcom and turns it into something special. She's a hoot. Sep 6, 2018 | Full Review… Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Out of all the famous sitcoms from the '90s, The Nanny might just be the most underrated. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… Jose Solís PopMatters The show was, regardless of how over-the-top it may have seemed (the nasal laugh that ended all nasal laughs, those hilarious under-the-breath insults from Niles), undeniably relatable. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… Erin Cunningham Refinery29 The writing is clever, and the lines and characters are actually funny - an unusual combination in many sitcoms these days.
