The character has many “Fine” qualities, but the writers choose to portray her in the most negative ways. I fully expect that Fran will start wearing plastic slip covers over her clothes.
Who played yetta on the nanny tv#
Times, “ Why Won’t TV Let Jews Intermarry?” She wrote: Some people might find the characterizations offensive, like Judith Peiss did in a May 2nd, 1994 article in the L.A. The misadventures of the three generations of Rosenberg-Fine women could be a show in itself. But in the pilotepisode, there’s a moment where Maggie walks down the stairs and Maxwell remarks how much his oldest daughter looks like her mother, and it’s an interesting window into things.įinally, Fran’s mom Sylvia and Sylvia’s mom who we meet in episode 2, Yetta. Maxwell is obviously screwed up from his wife’s passing, and his kids seem, well, pretty well-adjusted given they don’t have a mom and their dad doesn’t seem to offer much guidance. So Sara Sheffield isn’t exactly Fruma Sarah from Fiddler on the Roof, but her presence is noticeable two episodes in. She’s never been a mom, but she’s incredibly warm and loving, the bond she has with the trio is noticeable right away.
Let’s take stock:įran and the Sheffield kids. Sure, there are lots of incredible television moms from June Cleaver to Clair Huxtable, Carmella Soprano and Lucille Bluth, but The Nanny is a show dominated by mothers. And while, yes, The Nanny is a show about a young Jewish woman who was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens… it’s also a show about mothers, quite possibly more than any show I can honestly think of. We’re on the second episode of the show, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” and the timing could not be better because today - as I’m sure you can tell by all the pictures of moms looking hot in your Instagram feed - is Mother’s Day.
Hello again! Welcome to another installment of Fine Time.
