In 1993, Fran Drescher took the zany antics of Lucille Ball and the sexy vamping of Mae West, and combined them with her own original spin as a flashy girl from Flushing to create The Nanny. The character was bold and audacious and lived in a world where queer people were a part of everyday life. At a time when most other sitcoms treated gay characters and stories as an awkward crisis or an opportunity for a Very Special Episode, what was remarkable about The Nanny is how unremarkable queer characters were in the world that Drescher created.

@happyninja42 3 года назад

@@kniddelliz7512 yeah, the dynamic is totally different. I live in the south in the US, so the risk of violence from gay panic is pretty high. So most of them, I feel were worried that once it was made clear they were gay and interested in me, but their gaydar was clearly being jammed, they would worry I might attack them. Back then I was in pretty good physical shape. Not muscular but I'm very tall, and had a "wiry but muscular" build I guess you could say. I knew how to defend myself, so I could see them worrying about that. That's my theory anyway, as they would often have a flash of panic run across their face when I turned them down. It was either just embarrassment, or genuine fear for their safety. Given when this was (early 2000's), my guess is the latter.

there's a great episode in season five where a Chinese exchange student that Fran and val "adopted" through school donations finally comes to new york to visit. the episode frames them as two moms vying for their single daughter's attention in a way that did not feel like it was making a mockery of gay parents. as a lesbian I loved it and found the bickering very relatable and funny. the episode ends with fran distraught that val wants to "divorce" before patching things up

In Friends, the gay joke came off as hostile and disapproving. In the Nanny, Fran manages to take a then controversial trait and normalize it. How you take off and land the joke makes all the difference

@arcyarcanine 3 года назад

Ross was always very disapproving of feminine traits on men, like when he tried to stop Ben from playing with Barbies. It most likely stems from his trauma of being bullied for acting like a girl as a kid. Monica mentioned this at some point, and it gets mentioned a few times in the series in different ways. Because of this, he probably demeans it every time he sees such traits. Chandler just has self-esteem issues, so the moment people see him for something he isn't he questions why people would come to that conclusion. He's fine with gay people, he sometimes even wishes he was gay or has very homoerotic moments (especially with Joey) throughout the series. It's just not who he is though, he doesn't like being thought of something he isn't no matter what it is.

Fran yell down “get phone numbers.” Val yells back “there are no women.” Fran yells back “get recipes.” It was just a very funny moment and wasn’t offensive.

I feel like the more I view the show, the more I see Fran not so much as a non-wealthy proudly Jewish woman that wasn’t keen on just being the goals for a “white person” back then. And showed how fun and delightful it is to be to just “be”. Fran is as someone that’s proud of all of her idiosyncrasies and embraces herself as opposed to fighting herself. That’s always been the message of the show. To just be and have fun with life and enjoy life as opposed to trying to be as plain and typical as possible. I think she’s a stand-in for everyone that refuses to be a stereotype or typical. The show will always be comfort food for me.

I think the Golden Girls was incredibly progressive for its time as well. In this case, I think if it had been any other character…there wouldn’t have been a big reaction. Blanche, Dorothy, and Sylvia are very open about the gays and accepting them and Rose learned through them. Rose grew up in a very small town where it doesn’t seem there was much variety. In that episode, however, the lady is Dorothy’s friend who came to visit them and developed a crush on Rose. I think they leaned into her small town heritage and her expressive/dumb/silly personality and face to sell the joke. This episode was used as a learning tool and wasn’t a call for outrage against gay people.

@izaakimagery1978 Год назад

"a friend of dorothy's "

@jeffreyschunk261 Год назад

I'm actually a Golden Girls fanatic and have to somewhat disagree with you. Blanche is actually surprisingly uncomfortable with her brother being gay. You could argue that the Blanche character should think that being gay is no big deal, but that isn't how the writers wrote the script when her brother Clayton came to visit. The episode where Dorothy's friend falls in love with Rose doesn't so much reveal Rose to be uncomfortable with gay people but rather just uncomfortable because she didn't realize that anything other than feelings of friendship were developing. The episode basically ends with her saying that she's flattered to be thought of in that way but doesn't reciprocate those feelings. I think the clip from that episode shown in this video was taken out of context and gives the wrong impression, just as the clip from Maude that was shown here.

Ugh literal tears in my eyes. The Nanny was the only sitcom I'd watch as a kid, then I thought it was because they were Jewish and the yelling reminded me of my family, then in my teens I thought it was because I had a big fat crush on Fran (which I did), and maybe it was both of those things as well, but you really put an articulate and 'fine' point on it here: In Frans world people like me, who felt like me, didn't stand out, weren't ridiculed or made to be a conflict, we just existed the same as anybody else with our own problems and relationships. A fantastic video, great job 💕💕

I remember watching The Nanny at 9pm as a teenager (and this was in the late 00’s) 💯 gave me comfort in realizing my sexuality. It was nice to have a show not mock but instead acknowledge gays. Nowadays there’s a lot of shows (finally) that do what the Nanny has done. The Nanny paved the way for shows to acknowledge gays and be okay with it. Took a very long time but I’m glad it’s finally here ♥️

It’s weird that this came up in my feed, but I’m glad it did. Maybe it’s the Actor’s Strike and the heroic work Fran is doing as the President of SAG.

The Nanny was a regular fixture in my house. Both my parents and I loved the show. It was just so clever and funny and intelligent.

the tiramisu line is especially funny if you lived in nyc in the 90s because you couldn't step into any restaurant, cafe, or diner without seeing tiramisu on the menu for a while

Especially since most consider it a kind of cake that is (yes, I got this off Wikipedia 'cause I didn't want to get this wrong) "made of ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa." Apparently it was a popular cake the decade I was born. *thinks*

Speaking as a European ;-) Tiramisu is a very classic Italian desert you are likely to find in any true Italian restaurant. It's neither a trend nor something new; it might just not have caught on as well as pizza in the US of A ;-)

What a gem. She's standing up for the writers rn.

I’m convinced that if CC hadn’t been obsessed with Max, Fran would’ve tried it. Gorgeous professionals are her type after all

@mikkithemeche 3 года назад

Not to mention CC was GORGEOUS. Try as Niles might have, we could see that she was a goddess.

@TajFaerie 3 года назад

@@mikkithemeche Right?! When I first started watching the show I was like 'Niles your jokes are funny but have you seen this SHIKSA GODDESS! Stop playin'

The Nanny is a fashionable unapologetic woman who marries a man who is an important figure in Broadway. She has no option but to be loved and accepting of the gays.
