Critics, per Wikipedia

The show received positive critical reviews, with an 85% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes for the first season. The website's consensus reads: "Fran Drescher elevates The Nanny's formulaic writing with chutzpah, hairspray, and a one-of-a-kind comedic performance." However, the show performed poorly in its first year; when it was nearly cancelled, CBS executive Jeff Sagansky championed the show, citing the pilot's historically high test numbers. According to Jacobson: "At all those affiliate meetings, he used to say, 'Stick by The Nanny!' He knew it was something special."

    Good evening, Queers and Weirdos🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥸 I didn’t watch the inauguration—instead, I watched The Nanny, a show that’s silly, fun, and embraces everyone. Sometimes, choosing joy and nostalgia is the best way to cope in uncertain times. 1. I love you. ❤️ 2. Remember to love yourself 🥰 3. Take your fiber.

    King of Queens was based on the Archie Bunker mold, and while Fran Fine from The Nanny was from Queens (Flushing!) that show is set in Manhattan. And by the time that show was airing the Queens that Fran Drescher grew up in was transitioning from very Jewish, Italian and Irish to primarily Asian

    How I Met Your Mother was insane in how openly bigoted it could be. Friends, MASH, Frasier, The Nanny, Hogan's Heroes, and many other earlier sitcoms have moments that date but none with the sort of gleefully bigoted attitude of that show. It's genuinely shocking.
