The Nanny

[katikat]

There's the ep of The Nanny on TV right now in which Lauren Lane, the actress playing C.C. Babcock, was pregnant and they made fun of that by letting her cary huge banners and plants and handbags around while pointing out that on TV, they don't acknowledge when actresses are pregnant, they cover the pregnancy with huge things like banners and plants and handbags and that's so ridiculous! I almost died laughing when C.C. said that in her perfectly serious, no-nonsense voice while carrying a huge handbag! XD

I remember that scene. It's always been on of my personal faves, even though I haven't seen it in about five years.
Everytime a show tries to cover up a pregnancy now I laugh and think of CC with the massive handbag

Oh yes, The Nanny was brilliant in these one-liners, especially between Niles and C.C.! XD

C.C. and Niles totally made the show... well, actually, Niles made the show. It was very rare that anybody could hold a flame to his lines. Most people didn't even try.
Am I the only one who thought the coupling between C.C. and Niles at the end was forced?

Actually, I liked it. I mean, from the very beginning, he was the only one who could hold his own against her sharp tongue. Though I was happy that it took them the whole series to get together. The show wasn't as good when Fran and Mr. Sheffield became an item :(
