Like many others, I think Sylvia steals every scene she's in, she's great.

It really is a sweet show, holds up (mostly) even though it's retro comedy, and is enjoyable. I was in quarantine a couple of weeks back after moving across country and bored with little to do, so I pulled this show up on Amazon Prime and started watching. She says "The sales girl said I look like like a dream!" Fran: "Maybe Oscar Mayer's." Sylvia: "She should choke on her commission." by Anonymous Sylvia buys a new dress, which is so tight it is leaving strap marks. Finally Fran reaches over to have a piece-and the whole top comes off, revealing the chocolate stashed inside. Sylvia keeps telling her over and over to "have some bread" from the loaf sitting there in the middle. Fran kind of throws away "The big cats can't share a cage."ģ) Fran is sad and at Sylvia's kitchen table. Sheffield wonders why she didn't go stay with Yetta. TILE!!! By the way Yetta covers up her ears you just know they've been arguing about this for days.Ģ) Sylvia is staying at the mansion, and Mr. Sylvia begins yelling at Yetta: "We are not. OK, funny bits from memory, so please forgive miquotes:ġ) At some point Sylvia must have been redecorating? Anyway, she and Yetta are with Fran and Yetta says something about tile. Offsite Link by AnonymousĪdd me as shocked that this show has held up so well over the years. Ironically, both Fran Fine from The Nanny and Melissa from Princesses sold cosmetics, albeit in different settings. In fact, Drescher developed the idea while visiting with Princesses co-star Twiggy and her family in England, and modeled the character of Maxwell Sheffield on Twiggy's husband Leigh Lawson.
NILES THE NANNY SERIES
Shortly after the cancellation, an accidental meeting gave Drescher a chance to pitch a new television series to Sagansky, and she came up with her hit show The Nanny. The show ended up ranking 118th out of 132 shows that season, averaging only a 6.3 household rating. but CBS ultimately decided against Drescher's wishes and axed the entire show (only five episodes out of the eight produced were aired). During the meeting, Drescher tried to compromise with Sagansky by suggesting he only re-cast Hagerty's role. Drescher soon became aware of this and immediately arranged a meeting with Sagansky.

At one point, CBS programming head Jeff Sagansky expressed interest in re-tooling the show and replacing all of the show's cast members. Upon its premiere, Princesses placed last in the Nielsen ratings. The first tell-tale sign came when Hagerty walked off the set after filming the first four episodes, which were followed by profoundly negative reviews, off-camera problems, and rumors that CBS affiliates might never air the episodes. Princesses was visibly destined for failure by the time it went into production. However, prior to the show's premiere, entertainment media outlets such as Entertainment Tonight began publicizing the show's behind-the-scenes woes. In an effort to downplay the behind-the-scenes turmoil on Princesses, CBS execs initially touted the series as "promising" to advertisers.
