Debuting on November 3, 1993, The Nanny ran six seasons with 146 episodes airing between 1993 and 1999. The show catapulted Fran Drescher into global stardom and later became an enduring fan favorite in syndication.

“The Nanny is among the most beloved sitcoms of all-time, so we wanted to celebrate its 25th anniversary in a big way with Fran Drescher right here on COZI TV,” said Meredith McGinn, Senior Vice President, COZI TV and LX.TV Productions. “It has been our privilege to work with Fran this year in promoting The Nanny and also in supporting her on-going work as a healthcare advocate and her Cancer Schmancer Foundation.”

The Nanny is a classic fish out of water tale that follows Queens native Fran Fine, played by Drescher, who finds herself becoming the nanny to three children of a wealthy English widower, Maxwell Sheffield. Plenty of hilarious and heartwarming moments ensue, as Fran adjusts to life with the Sheffield family – and begins a long roller coaster romance with Mr. Sheffield.

Episodes featured in the Nanny-versary marathon include landmarks like their engagement and wedding, as well as favorites like “My Fair Nanny,” where Fran gets an etiquette lesson from Maxwell and butler Niles so she can hold a proper mother-daughter tea with Maxwell’s daughter. Also included in the marathon is “Where’s the Pearls,” when Fran loses guest star Elizabeth Taylor’s pearls and “The Honeymoon’s Overboard” in which Fran and Maxwell as they adapt to living on a deserted island after falling off a yacht on their honeymoon.

“I cannot believe it has been 25 years since The Nanny first premiered – and cannot wait to celebrate with my COZI TV family on November 3,” said Drescher. “The show has been an important part of my life and I am grateful to our fans for their continued love and support – especially the ones who say I haven’t changed a bit!”

The Nanny airs on COZI TV Monday through Friday from 12 AM to 2 AM, and from 10 AM to 11 AM. It also airs Sunday afternoons at 1 PM. The show won an Emmy Award and was nominated for eleven others.
