Fun Fact: The Nanny had so many jokes about Cece being an “old crone” & so much older than Nanny Fine. In reality, Lauren Lane (Cece) was 3 years younger than Fran Drescher. She’s also a fellow Texan & lives here today. She’s now a professor at University of Texas. 👏🏻

[@matthewscott1091]

*To those commenting on Benjamin Salisbury’s (Brighton) hair:* He can’t help it. 90% of men have a gene that causes male pattern baldness. The lucky 10% (like Charles Shaughnessy aka Maxwell) will have thick, full heads of hair well into their golden years. But for most men who have the gene (myself included) we’ll have anywhere from a slightly receded hairline (widow’s peak) to being full on bald depending on the severity of the genes you have. I personally take prescription hair loss medication but still have some thinning & receding that makes me very self conscious. Other men use over the counter products or have *very expensive* (like $20-40,000) hair transplant surgery. It’s an unfortunate part of being male that causes depression & low self esteem in a lot of men. So go easy on him. He’s just a human being.

[@ciaraf4158]

I agree with you. My husband ( who just left the navy) started going bald a year before he got out

[@massabielle2821]

I cannot believe that of all the things we could say at having almost the entire cast available for this lovely reading, people are commenting on hair loss…………real people/real fans, love everyone as is, at any time. Love you Ben!!!! You have perfect comedic timing!

[@joonie1974]

I don't mean to be insulting, but I predicted he would lose his hair when I saw him in the later episodes where he was all grown up (college years, I believe). But I agree that the majority of men have a gene that causes male pattern baldness. Also, as we get older, we (both men and women) tend to shed more hair. On a side note, I was susceptible to hair loss until I ditched shampoos sold in stores (e.g., Suave) and switched to shampoos that are infused with caffeine and biotin. They are more expensive but they can potentially help with hair loss (I inserted "potentially" because just because it worked for me doesn't mean it'll work for everyone.).

[@cyndilu9]

So true - for men or women - losing hair does affect self esteem. Not easy to deal with at all. I thought they all looked fabulous - and I enjoyed their closeness and love after all these years!!! The love is what stood out to me the most.

I'm not getting over what a beautiful woman Madeline grew up to be. She is absolutely stunning 😍 They all look great. Lauren has that edgy art teacher vibe which suits her well since she's a acting professor in Texas. 🥰

Everyone has barely aged, and acted their characters perfectly! The “kids” acted exactly as they did when they were little. I loved every character! Niles will always be my fav with his hysterical comebacks. 😂 I miss every single one of these characters!! Thank you so much for doing this. ❤️

Thank you so much Fran Drescher and Peter. No matter how many times I watch The Nanny it never fails to make me laugh out loud. Great scripts. Great cast. And great comedic timing. Fran you are truly the Lucille Ball of your generation. And your fashions in the show are simply impeccable. It is a credit to you all. And this reading was so much fun to watch. Much love.

It is amazing how little many of them have changed. Instantly recognizable. CC has changed the most, and it was to her advantage. What a difference a good hairstyle makes. She's the one i definitely wouldn't have recognized even after 5 minutes of looking at her.

Riiiight. Cuz the next episode(ep 3really) they say she was never married. Well Gracie mentions it and niles concurs

[@myheartssay]

@@brichard4214 ah maybe in the pilot they made her a divorcee and decide to change it later, but if what you said about episode 3 is true (I need to rewatch it again too), then we are not imagining things about CC never married before 🤣

Me neither

[@DeeDiamond2981]

True. Cause she went to her class reunion and said she was never married. And niles always made fun of her because men dont like her lol

Yeah they definitely changed that detail after the pilot

[@jamestyler7697]

Dialogue is just as funny without a laugh track ... which is actually pretty rare for sitcoms.

[@cart172]

This show was so well-written. Imagine watching 'Big Bang Theory' with no laugh track,

[@LordSesshaku]

It's only rare when the laugh tracks are recorded. The Nanny belongs to a time when sitcoms were filmed live in front of an audience. Granted it's a "selected" audience, but still. You could even "measure" the level of fame a guest star had based on the excitement and applause when it enters scene.

[@masterhide]

Woah! I didnt even notice that! Partly because I was smiling and laughing the whole time. Lol

[@chosenlight7289]

I heard Madeline didn't enjoy doing the show because apparently, they didn't treat her like a person, more of a prop. Read it in an article from 2013. That's honestly really sad and I couldn't imagine the people on the Nanny set (or even her costars) acting like that, but I'm glad she agreed to do this! Although none of us were even there to see what really went on.
