The Nanny may be many things, but subtle isn't one of them. Nanny Fine's whine and wardrobe are as loud as the laugh track, but her heart's in the right place in actor/producer Fran Drescher’s fish-out-of-water sitcom. In her third season, the "flashy girl from Flushing" continues to add pizazz to the staid Manhattan world of the Sheffields, while her mother, Sylvia (Renée Taylor), keeps up the pressure for her to marry a rich man. Granted, Fran’s debonair employer, Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy), fits the bill--and the two do share a mutual attraction--except Fran has her sights set on a Jewish doctor rather than a Broadway producer. If she met her match too soon, the show wouldn’t have lasted six seasons. Instead, Fran falls for a con artist, a mobster, and New York Ranger Mike LaVoe. Romance aside, she bumbles into numerous (mis)adventures throughout this 27-episode collection, like a stint on Jeopardy (featuring Alex Trebek), an appearance on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (with Jane Seymour), an afternoon with Elizabeth Taylor, and a day in court, during which her senile Uncle Manny (Milton Berle) represents her.

Unlike many '90s comedies, The Nanny held onto the same cast, and year three comes compete with wisecracks from Max's assistant, C.C. (Lauren Lane), his kids (Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury, and Madeline Zima), Fran’s Yetta (Ann Guilbert), and Niles the Butler (Daniel Davis, a Yank with a spot-on English accent). Though extras aren't part of the package, this three-disc set includes the trippy animated special "Oy to the World" featuring talking dogs and lovesick clouds. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

ABOUT TIME...
We have only been waiting a few years, so it is about time for this third season to come out. I hope that good sales will support a decision to release the rest, soon. This is one of the best series ever to grace our screens, so I can't wait to receive this third (and one of the best) season in 2009. A reminder of the episodes we can expect to see: Fran meets her penpal Lenny at the Russian Tea Room, Fran and Val throw a singles party at the Sheffield residence, Maggie's sweet 16 party at Lainie Kazan's bar, a visit by mum Mrs Sheffield, a visit to the Kibbutz (and a 16 year old Fran), both of Fran's Grandmas, a fake marriage proposal to Fran from a Frenchie and also a memorable guest appearance by Eartha Kidd - I can't wait... and thank you Sony for finally giving in and releasing this third season. Please don't stop now!!!

Bravo!
Many encores and gracious accolades to Sony for their decision to release Season 3 of the Nanny! After checking with the Amazon site almost every week since the Summer of 2008 and waiting so patiently, it was a grand, surreal surprise to see the prompt for the pre-order of this item! This series is truly one worth purchasing.It is an item that has been worth waiting for and especially for the faithful Nanny followers who have been hoping for this seasons and the others to be released on DVD! With the release of Season 3, there is a revitalized hope that the other seasons will soon materialize and appear for purchase. Being able to add Season 3 along with Seasons 1 and 2 has created a new excitement. I have really enjoyed watching these episodes and having loads of laughs while I literally "kick-up-my-heels" and relax. With the release of Season 3, having access to the complete collection doesn't look so bleak!

YES! At last my prayers have been answered.
This is one of the most amazing shows on television. Amazing unforgettable characters. I have seen every episode dozens of times and it never. ever. gets old. I have been waiting since 2005 for this and had almost given up hope! Thank you sony, this is my favorite season and I cannot wait for it to be added to my collection. Please please don't leave us hanging! Season 4,5, and 6 are on their way, right? :)
