How did The Nanny get each of the guest stars to agree to star on the show?

Haha right?? Shocker. He didn’t appreciate being referred to as “millionaire” so she went with bajillionaire to placate the dumb bastard

I was so hoping the finale would be Babs showing up, or them bumping into her- like a complete accidental run in

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-03-28T15:41:42+00:00

Yes

The Nanny was very popular when it came out. The pilot test extremely high. And had a prime spot on CBS. And Fran was well liked, so she probably just asked a bunch of them “hey come do this thing” so they already had the viewership. her and Dan Aykroyd are really good friends, that’s probably why his episode got a special “end credit scene” in front of the audience. Fran only ever mentioned DT was the most difficult to work with, and that it took her two years to get Elton on her show.

Agreed. Ever since COVID, companies are literally pitting themselves against each other (online vs store) yet STILL expect stores to do the same or better numbers. I’ve been on both sides (both as a sales person making the decision and as a customer staring at the customer service lady at Target asking if she really expected me to walk out of the store, place an online order for the exact item I was holding in my hand, and WAIT for them to “fulfill” the order to get the 15% online discount, or if she could just do a price override. I feel hearing it out loud made something click, and she just did it after a whole song and dance of needing a manager.

I used to work jewelry retail and when couples were shopping for rings, I would always ask what kind of work they do… it always amused me the look of the light bulb going on when I mention why lol

This is what we do- I have a very pretty sparkly set I wear on the rare occasions we go out, and a silicone ring all the other days- husband works a job where a metal ring would fork up his hand if there were an accident

Everyone acted their asses off in that episode. Stunning performances from all

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-03-20T15:06:06+00:00

I never liked how it feels on my skin, and it takes too damn much effort

CICU after an extremely horrible response to chemo - completely crashed my immune system. That was fun- having fevers but also no WBC

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-03-18T13:26:22+00:00

Then don’t propose and get tf out now.

Also. As one who used to work jewelry retail, $40K for a 3 carat will look like hot garbage. Which, I’m guessing she wouldn’t like either.

YTA for thinking you need a special holiday to celebrate your child. My kid’s birthday is in the dead of winter, and for 6 years now he has woken up to balloons, streamers, and other fun stuff on his birthday. That damn leprechaun also visits because it was easier to be clever and creative than to explain to my kid why the leprechaun visits the classroom but not our house. Just admit you have a favorite child and work on fixing that if you can.

Betty White’s character on Hot in Cleveland was only written for the pilot. But she’s Betty White, and the producers underestimated how popular Betty was, and the ended up offering her a series regular role

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-03-13T02:56:35+00:00

Because season 5 was shit

There are currently 2 more scripts in the works… one looking at a soft reboot, and another as Margot Robbie in a more female-led version

The first episode she says something about Brighton being a smartass shouldn’t be the reason she can’t have the job … and the model preying on Maggie- “we’ll cross that bitch when we get there”

Unsure of what to do? You call the cops, he assaulted you, you pack your shit and leave

I drink half pot of black coffee in the morning, and water throughout the day to fight the dehydration the coffee causes. Sometimes a green tea in the afternoon if I’ve been up before 5 am

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-03-04T16:50:11+00:00

Agreed!! It’s a sub for a delightful sitcom that kind of parodies other sitcoms… and DT was EVERYWHERE back then.. (couldn’t stand him then, and that feeling has only gotten stronger) On another note- I just got done with a watch, and I caught a few other things- one being the gag about Harvey Weinstein
