Edit/Drafting
The Nanny is an American television sitcom which originally aired on CBS from 1963 to 1999, starring Fran Drescher as Fran Fine, a Jewish fashion queen from Flushing, New York Who becomes the nanny of three children from New York/British high society (Add in source link for "British high society").

The show was created and produced by Drescher (Add in source link for "Drescher") and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson, taking much of its inspiration from Drescher's personal life growing up in Queens, involving names and characteristics based on her relatives and friends. The show earned a Rose d'Or and one Emmy Award, out of a total of twelve nominations, and Drescher was twice nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy. The sitcom has also spawned several foreign adaptions, loosely inspired by the original scripts.

Jewish-American (Add in source link for "Jewish-American") Fran Fine turns up on the doorstep of British Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) to sell cosmetics after having been both dumped and fired by her boyfriend and employer Danny Imperialli. Instead, she finds herself the nanny of Maxwell's three children, Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Maxwell Sheffield is unhappy about it at first, but Fran turns out to be just what he and his family needed. While Fran Fine manages the children, butler Niles (Daniel Davis) manages the household and watched all the events that unfold with Fran as the new nanny. Niles, recognizing Fran's gift for bringing warmth back to the family, does his best to undermine Maxwell's business partner C.C Babcock (Lauren Lee) ( add in source link for lauren lee) who has her eyes on the very available Maxwell Sheffield. Niles is often seen making witty comments directed towards C.C with C.C often replying with a comment of her own in their ongoing game of one-upmanship. (add in source link for one-upmanship, or go into explanation)

As the series progresses, it becomes increasingly obvious that Maxwell is smitten with Fran even though he wont admit it, and Fran is smitten with him. The show teases the viewers with their closeness and "near misses" as well as with an engagement. Towards the later seasons, they finally marry and expand their family by having fraternal twins (add in source link for fraternal twins). By the end of the series, its also clear that Niles and C.C's constant sharp barbs are their bizarre form of flirtation ( add comma) and after a few false starts (including multiple impulsive and failed proposals from Niles) the pair marry in the series finale.
