And, once again, that will point up them as an odd couple. Then they'll have the baby and they'll have to raise a kid from scratch. Then she'll get pregnant and that's going to be a whole new thing for her. "They're going to get married and that'll open up a whole new can of worms. "I think it's got a couple more seasons in it," she said.
"Fran Fine is going to be very funny pregant."Īs a matter of fact, Drescher is already looking beyond next season for the show. "Next year, she'll get pregnant," Drescher said. Fran and Maxwell will get married in the final episode of the season, which will air sometime in May.Īnd, assuming there is a sixth season - a pretty safe bet - more changes are in store. Sheffield' and `Miss Fine' anymore," she said. Sheffield' and `Miss Fine' as pet names because I can't bear the thought that they'll never call each other `Mr. Heck, the two characters will even continue to address each other the way they always have. "That's when `Mad About You' decided to get pregnant, and it revitalized the show in a way that became interesting and exciting to some viewers that might have strayed."Īnd the show won't change that much, Drescher assures us. "Historically, I think the fifth season - if they last that long - is a time when shows make changes," Drescher said. She's also hoping that the change will bring back some of the audience that has drifted away in the past year or two.

The decision to have the couple get engaged at this point does, however, seem more driven by ratings than by any creative impulses. They're going to have to work out the kinks all over again." "It's just going to point up the initial differences between the characters that might have gotten slightly defused over the years. "Because the characters are so different, the fact that they're getting married is only going to ignite more conflict and create more situations where she is a fish out of water - where she is the blue-collar girl in a blue-blood world," Drescher said.
The fact that the two main characters are going to get married won't change the show significantly, Drescher insists.
And there's plenty of that in tonight's episode. It's also the sort of program that brings "ooohs" and "aaahs" from the studio audience for the mushy stuff. The show would never be confused with "Frasier" or "Mad About You" - it's something more akin to "The Beverly Hillbillies," with its outlandish, over-the-top writing, sight gags and sheer silliness. The premise of "The Nanny" had very middle class, very Jewish Fran Fine going to work as the nanny to very upper-class Maxwell Sheffield's three children. "The one question that's been asked more than any other over the five years that we've been in business is, `When are they going to get together?' "Īnd the answer is tonight at 7 on CBS/Ch.
