The Nanny. How do I love thee. I am pretty sure I have every episode memorized from beginning to end and have seen each at least 10 times. Sad maybe – but I love it. But in recent years I have noticed how the Nanny has shaped my view of life. I started watching the nanny at the young age of 6 (WAYY to young for a regular Nanny watcher). I sat in front of the tv every night and watched the sexual tension between Fran and Mr. Sheffield and laughed when it seemed appropriate although it would take me years to fully understand all the jokes and innuendos. Now days I have noticed that everything from which side of the bed I sleep on to how I view relationships can be attributed to all the episodes I watched. Unfortunately now I realize that is just crazy and I can’t line up my life to Fran Dresher – although I will definitely continue to watch the Nanny religiously on TV Land. But now I see the power of the media and how it can affect me if I let it.
