The Nanny: The Complete Series [DVD]

I have been waiting for years for this compete set to come out. For years we only had the first 3 years of the show out on DVD. The Nanny is probably my favorite comedy show of all time. Before the show aired I happened to be at a Star Trek convention and saw Daniel Davis (played Moriarty on ST:TNG and Niles on The Nanny) and he said he was going to be doing a sitcom and asked that we watch it. I watched the first episode and fell in love. Fran Drescher is the funniest woman on television since Lucy. She does so many of the facial expressions that made Lucy so funny but with her own spin on it. The whole show's ensemble cast is so good. The casting department deserves a high five. While I loved the pairing of Mr. Sheffield and Fran I was just enamored with the possibility of Niles and CC becoming a couple. They hated each other so much and their quips and digs at each other had me in stitches. Niles and CC had so many great moments; from Niles dancing a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business to them waking up drunk on the sofa with Niles having lipstick all over his face and caught by Fran and Mr. Shefffield. Probably the one scene though that makes me laugh till I cry even now though is when Mr. Sheffield has surgery and Fran is thought to be a nurse and is ordered to shave his pelvic area. She can't get out of it so she has the can of shaving cream under the covers and it looks so risque. The crowning moment is when Niles walks in, looks at what's going on and says with a straight face, "Bucking for a raise?" Funniest thing EVER!! Buy this set of DVDs. You will have a such a great time watching and re watching this great show!

I just finished watching the entire set last night and it was absolutely fantastic. First off, the quality of the DVDs is amazing. The bonus DVD was awesome. It even features "A Nosh To a Remember" - the reunion at Fran's house. It is not mentioned in the advertising so it was a nice surprise. They are complete shows. I've been watching The Nanny on reruns on TV Land and you tube and of course portions of the shows were deleted to shorten the time. I had forgotten what the whole shows were like. With the original shows it now ties them in together better because you can definitely see the gaps on the reruns. I didn't have the first 3 seasons so this was a gift to myself and definitely with it. I pre-ordered from Charlie Shaughnessy's Amazon site so portions of the sale goes to the Diabetes Research (check out his website, it's great). I previously ordered The Nanny (before this was announced) from DVD Entertainment and was so disappointed. The quality was not good. It's like they just videotaped the shows and put on disc. It was about half the cost so you get what you pay for. As soon as I knew this was out I ordered and was not disappointed. You will not be disappointed by buying this!! If I have a complaint it is that in a couple of the shows the music is not the same, but it does not take away from,the show one bit. They inserted appropriate music. It's just that I knew what the music should have been. I asked Peter Marc Jacobson and he said it was probably because of music license issues. Maybe too because Sony did not put these out. What I like too is that they included the Season 3 Valentine's show "Love Is a Many Blundered Thing" that is never on reruns or you tube. And....on you tube the shows have muted parts which I never understood why. Now, everything is as the way it was shown on T V. It's so sad the show had to end but Peter and Fran explain why on the bonus feature. The packaging is great, the DVDs are packaged great, there's a booklet that explains each episode with pictures if the shows. Shout did a great job and I would definitely buy from them again.

"The Nanny named Fran" is the genius creation of Fran Drescher. Nobody else could play Fran Fine, the delightful sexy nanny that we have all grown to love and love more. She is sweet, not always the brightest thinker, very beautiful and sexy, has a nasely voice, looks great in the shortest colorful dresses ever, and a big heart of gold. If you do not fall madly in love with Fran Fine in the first episode, you are dead inside. If you do not laugh through every episode, you have no sense of humor of any kind. Fran Drescher may have been the main character, but the entire cast were equal as stars. Every cast member had memorable lines and center screen positions to give each one an equal shot at the spotlight. The show would not have been the same if any one of them had left the show. The Nanny was one of the few comedies done with intelligent humor that made sense and produce the funniest dialogue that TV has not shown us for many years. They don't make comedies like this anymore. I have to give a shout out to Shout Factory for their expert packaging of this series. Every disc is clean, Every episode is in crystal clear sharp picture with vivid color and perfect contrast. Every episode is in full Dolby Stereo 2.0 with the highest audio quality. The audiophile and videophile in me is very pleased with the DVD quality. The series was done in the old 480 line, 4 x 3 standard video and 2 channel stereo sound. And they were transferd to DVD so well that certain scenes come close to HD quality The packaging is also genius. Two seasons per DVD box. Three discs per season in a regular sized DVD case with 2 flip trays that hold and separate each disc from the others. Easy to access and they can not get scratches Three DVD cases holding all 6 seasons in one very nice and solid cardboard box sleeve. There is also a bonus disc with the making of the Nanny. Plus a full color booklet showing every episode title and a program description of each episode, with photos. You can not ask for a more professional packaging. Shout Factory should teach the other video producers how it is supposed to be done right. Thank you to Shout Factory for giving us the Nanny with such high quality standards. And thank you to Fran Drescher for her wonderful creation and warming our hearts for the original 6 years of the show. And now she will warm our hearts for many years to come thanks to Shout Factory.

If I ever need a laugh , Fran Drescher is the Best

The Nanny was a great show. It's also a product of its time. It was video taped in SD, so the best transfers will still look like they were video taped in SD. The picture quality is the same as most shows taped during this time. I picked this DVD set up at a great sale price and am happy so far with the purchase. There is one DVD with some bonus material. The other discs are strictly the show and offer no bonus materials aside from a handful of audio commentaries. If you are a fan, you won't be disappointed.

The Nanny was always one of my favorite shows from the 90s. I'm just old enough to be able to recall watching the last few seasons when they originally aired and often watched reruns when I could find them. After recently rediscovering the show in reruns again, I decided it was high time to get the complete set. The show hasn't been all remastered and whatnot for the modern digital age (at least not with this set) so it is a bit grainy at times on a bigger screen, but that doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I have the complete set in all it's hilarious glory. Watching The Nanny has been like welcoming long lost relatives back into my home. I'm very happy with this set since it means I can watch Fran, Max, Niles, CC and the rest of the Fines and Sheffields get up to their hijinks whenever I want.

Finally we have the complete set of this great show. This is one of the best put together box sets I've ever seen. The quality is great, the discs and transfers of the episodes as well as the sound quality are all perfect. All the episodes are full length and unedited, which was awesome, there were some moments we had never seen before. The packaging is fantastic, if you've ever bought a complete series box set before than you know that sometimes the packaging can really suck. Sometimes it can scratch the discs, sometimes it won't sit on the shelf right and end up getting damaged, I'm sure you all have your own horror stories when it comes to this subject. The packaging for this is not like that. The seasons come in modified regular DVD cases, two seasons for each case, all the discs have their own spaces. And all three seasons cases and the bonus disc as well as the small booklet are held in this great really thick cardboard box that's pretty much perfect and it's the size of regular DVDs. I know first hand that it can stand to be dropped a few times with no damage. When it comes to special features, while there's a bonus disc, there's still not a lot. They got Fran Drescher to do some episode commentaries, it's only on three episodes though all of which are in the first season. I wish she had done some more on episodes from other seasons. The bonus disc does indeed have the Nanny Reunion A Nosh to Remember special, oddly enough as a bonus on the bonus disc. Along with three behind the scenes features. It's nice to have the special even though Daniel Davis isn't in it. The features shed some light on what went on behind the scenes and how the series was picked up by CBS. This is a great investment if you love this show, and I completely recommend getting this.

I can't believe they FINALLY came out with this box set....I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but it's a beautiful box set! There are separate DVD holders that have 2 seasons in each PLUS a special DVD with a SPECIAL Behind the Scenes Bonus Disc as well as a little booklet that tells you every episode shown on each disc! Sturdy DVD holder and just an over-all lovely set!! I happened to have Pre-ordered this box set which anyone who buys a lot of DVDs from Amazon knows they DO STAND BEHIND their policy that you WILL get the lowest price at the time of release. When I Pre-ordered this box set earlier this year, it was over $110.00 & by the time it released, it was just a little over $80.00 so again....if you truly love any DVD, single or Box Set, it is a VERY GOOD IDEA to Pre-order them since the prices can & will jump up again a day or two after release, but rest assured....they will come down in price again, you may just have to wait a bit. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this box set!

Niet afspeelbaar buiten amerika door een codering op de dvd's. Hier kwamen we achter na 4 verschillende afspelers te proberen en een electronica winkel wist ons dit te zeggen en tonen.

Me encanta la serie, muy divertida, muy buena presentación de los DVDs, empaque y todo lo que incluye. Recomiendo ampliamente este box set de las temporadas completas.

Ik heb begrepen, dat er weinig aanbod is van The Nanny, complete series, region 2. Dus ik ben blij er 1 te hebben. De bezorging duurde veel korter dan was aamgegeven. Dús ik kijk er nu lekker naar.

Fran Drescher in my opinion is the Queen of Comedy. I loved watching the Nanny on tv in the 1990s. This show provided a nice escape from my homework so I could laugh for a half hour once a week when I was a kid. This DVD set is amazing. I am glad I purchased it when I did because it is not easy to find. The storylines and chemistry among the cast is amazing. The special features, especially the bonus disc is entertaining.

Entrega no prazo e qualidade boa. Mas o áudio é em inglês e não tem nenhum legenda, nem para PDA.
