When the show premiered on November 3, 1993, the plot was a little more simple:
Fran, fresh out of her job as a bridal consultant in her boyfriend's shop,
first appeared on the doorstep of Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield
(Charles Shaughnessy) peddling cosmetics, and quickly stumbled upon
the opportunity to become the nanny for his three children. But soon Fran,
with her off-beat nurturing and no-nonsense honesty, touched Maxwell as
well as the kids. It was a situation of blue collar meets blue blood, as Fran gave the prim-and-proper Maxwell and his children a dose of 'Queens logic,' helping them become a healthy, happy family. Fran's influence over the three Sheffield children, though sometimes not what their father expected, was just what they needed. Maggie (Nicholle Tom), 18, has blossomed since Fran came on the scene, as have brilliant, devious Brighton (Benjamin Salisbury), 16, and Grace (Madeline Zima), 11, who no longer has to confide in a therapist. Proudly running the Sheffield household is the butler, Niles (Daniel Davis), who watches all events with a bemused eye and levels problems with his quick wit. Niles quickly recognizes Fran's gift at bringing warmth back to the family and does his best to undermine Maxwell's socialite business partner, C.C. Babcock (Lauren Lane), in their ongoing game of one-upmanship. C.C. views Fran with a mixture of skepticism and jealousy, as she had designs on the very available Sheffield. But, Mr. Sheffield was clearly smitten with Fran, even if he was too shy to admit it, and Fran was equally taken with Mr. Sheffield. As the years have gone by, the show has teased us with their closeness and "near misses", and finally - an engagement. Then - quite recently, they've made the leap - they're married! Viewers for Quality Television calls "The Nanny" the 90's version of 'I Love Lucy'... it is well written and entertaining."
