Fourth Season Episode Guide

I loved loved loved the part when they were kissing at the end. Its my favorite Fran/Max kiss. Friends? Friends. It is one of my favorite episodes.

This one ranks in my top 3 TN eps of all time. It was fun to watch Maxwell struggle between a rock and a hard place. We all knew that nothing short of a marriage proposal from him was going to appease Fran after he took back "The Thing". I admit that we didn't need "The Thing" dragged out for much of the fourth season though.
The final scene on the doorstep remains my favorite Nanny moment. It encompassed everything Max & Fran had been through in the first three years and held the promise of what was still to come in their relationship.

I thought Jason Alexander was great. He is so funny. I saw the indie film that Charles Shaughnessy did with him and I though it was really funny! I love the scene in the end, Yeah right just friends!

I just LOVE this ep. very very much. Itīs very romantic. I really love the 'friends ' part. I think it was pretty unfair what Max did to Fran, but It actually work out for the next seasons.

This is absolutely one of the best episodes!!! I just love it!!! And that kiss at the end....Woo-ha!!!!! :) :)

This was a gooooooooood one!

This is my all time FAVORITE episode!!! Love it, love it, love it!!! I don't think they could have done anything else to make it better... it's a perfect 10 in my book!!! I loved every minute of it!!! I especially loved Fran in this one!!!

"Friends" what can I say? I love the ep!!

I LOVED THE END SEEN.BUT I THINK MAX STILL SHOULD HAVE TAKEN BACK TAKING BACK THE THING.

That kiss at the end. Boy I wish I could have a friend like him. He really shouldn't have taken the "THING" back

It was a nice episode it was so conforting and I liked the part at the end when fran and max are sitting down talking .communication is very important in a relationship! It was a really nice episode. AU REVOIR!

One of the best and romantic ends of all shows! What could one say about this wonderful, intensive and perfect "friends"-kiss? So full of passion! I think every kissing scene between Max and Fran is perfect, but this kiss: two thumbs up! One of my favourite eps!

Niles' attempts to find out what "The Thing" was were absolutely hilarious and a great storyline to carry out over several episodes! LOL when Niles asked Max how it felt to be out of the loop when Max said he didn't know Fran had a date and Niles said he did- otherwise known as "Niles Revenge"! Max's line about Niles never being around when they were out of TP was a riot as was Niles' line in the office, "O-o-o, somebody was so-o very bad!" The kiss(es) at the end were to die for! The look on their faces when they finished told the whole story- Friends indeed!!

I have to agree - the kiss at the end is probably my absolute favorite Nanny moment. "Friends?" Yeah, right! I also love Jason Alexander (and wasn't he a blind 'George Costanza' in some scenes!). Now, is it just me or did Fran try awfully hard in some scenes to sound like Valerie Harper??? The scene in the office was a totally different 'voiced' Fran!

It was one of the best episodes !!! I love "the thing" !!! It's soooooooooooooo funny !!!

Fabulous!! :-=DE

this was fabulous! i jjust loved it. sure, there is one or ttwo ep-ods that were better, but that one was unforgetable! i didn't like the actual idea of the blind gye,cause it was mean in some places( hat's the way i remember it), but the last scene absolutely knocked me down! good job! im the nanny's biggest fan!thank you!

i think they took away the illusion of a happy end from us a little bit too fast.even the sceptic hadn't probably believed that all ended after a few seconds,when max took back the thing!man it was very illogical that he could act like that,when he really loved her,but on the other hand one could still be pleased about living to see another happy end.so my feelings were conflicting,but finally the anticipation about a lot of more stories prevailed an excellent possibility for a fran/max happy end.now there was a lot of tension what happened to fran and max in the fourth season,mainly because of the last scene.very romantic and sweet,it was a clear reference to fran/max romance and a lot of fun.if there were more of these sexy scenes of fran and max,when they were flirting in this fantastic way,the fourth season probably would become very exciting.in this respect even the fact a 'real' fran wouldn't have stayed after max declared his love to her and then took it back.! that was so hollywood style!!beside all that romantic stuff the show remained the best sitcom of the world.even if fran was sooooooo cute and beautiful,she wasn't really sweet when she made that cigar metaphor.UHHH!!!another great thing was niles who wasn't able to find out about what happened in paris.the 'agent in duty of max sheffield'even got angry. to put it in a nutshell "The Tart With Hart" was,although it was a disappointment in some reasons,a good start for the season,because of an interesting story,a lot of romance,a lot of fun,a very good looking fran and the best at the end,just the first of another great year of "The Nanny".

My favorite one.

This was a great ep! it showed a lot of good chemistry between Fran and Max, and it was totally funny! the scene with the lemon was great!

I love this ep. Itīs one of the best and a great beginning of the fourth season. And Boy, that kiss.

Loved the scene on the stoop. Also it was nice to see Sylvia with some real insight. And I enjoyed Gracie and Ms. Babcock.

One of my favorite eps. The comedic level was top-notch all the way through & the romantic chemistry between Fran & Max just sings - right up to that VERY revealing kiss at the end. The only thing to spoil it for me is the knowledge that "the thing" gag drags on for the rest of the season.

this was a cute episode, i love the part about the grey streaked pigeon. The part about brighton and the lip stick was funny too.

This was a much funnier episode than I remember! How could Max be so-o-o clueless when Fran was talking about the gray-streaked pigeon? Niles' expression every time he heard Max tell Fran she was getting a bonus was funny as was Fran pretending she did warn Max when he thought it was his fault the eggs were gone. Fran sitting in class with gum on her nose was the funniest! This one had almost zero romance though.

well,what can i say--this is a nice ep.i liked it overall

I liked parts of this... the pidgeon references, Unlce Stanley's 'polluted' seafood, the shopping at the start and the 'Francine' on detention at Brighton's school. However, still a slower one compared to the opening of Season 4.

I remember thinking how popular The Nanny was at this airing. It was a Double Nanny Whammy. I think the show Pearl was having problems and CBS broadcasted 2 Nanny episodes (sure they needed Fran then). This is one of my favorites. I love when Sylvia says " it's one shrimp" taling about the 10lb of shrimp. I thought Nora Dunn was great as the teacher. This is also an episode where JFK was mentioned. Gracie was very cute also. I remember this one on primetime as if it was yesterday.

nice episode! Love the yellow outfit Fran wears on this ep!!

a very funny episode not only because of the ingenious DD and LL,respectively their always arguing characters niles(uhh a dog suppository!) and cc.i think that niles' phantastic trick with the records was a lot of fun.for example this scene in which he gave cc that false message from max that she had to come to the hotel and just after this got another line from max for tape.oh and also this dialogue between cc and max concerning this 'meeting in the hotel room'.wow these lines were really filthy...great,exactly whant i wanted most.at least cc could revenge on niles at the end of the show.but not only this one,also the thing with the sale founded some great scenes.i think of fran's student gracie and the jumanji trailor.the next thing was sylvias dealing with the nuclear reactor.a 12 pound shrimp!and in addition to this very funny to see brightons enthusiasm for his new project.i stick to fran...wanted to know not very much of this 'phenomenon'!
you can rip of my head,but i was completly blessed by seeing fran when she visited the theacher.wow she looked soooo great and i was not able to see a huge difference between a student and her.oh my god and then her appearance without the jacket in present of niles.no wonder why she got these extra bonus,whatever niles thought.did you watch frans look at a special point of max body at that second bonus scene!?i have my doubts that this was part of the script(just like the limo scene in"An Offer She Can't Refuse").to say somethig about the romance:once more i liked frans reproach to max.this metaphor with the birds was very good.the only thing i disliked was max threat to brighton to send him to military school.this was definetly not a good way for the character

loved all the parts on the balcony with the birds--very funny.

well, i lked it. i think it had its moments, and whatever you say--its good

Another one of my favorites!! The whole dream thing was hilarious, and I loved the part where Niles was dusting C.C.'s headstone!! LOL!!

This was a good episode, not a great one though. Love the dream scene.

i just loved this ep(just like all tye others). the part with max's dream wasso good. well, everything ends nicely, and boy,do we feel fine!

i just want to tyank you for making the nanny so good--thank you

It was a nice one, but Like I said before: Iīve seen better. I like the " friends " part, I mean when Fran tolds Max that she understands what did he mean about being friends. The C.C. and Franīs parts were just great.

i thought this was a great episode. I love Rosie, and Fran too! The part about bubbi sophie was so funny. I loved the part when Fran said "tell me what you dream't and i'll tell ya what it meant." The whole dream thing was so funny. The part with yetta and the mirror was funny too.

This was a so-so episode. It was good anyway. I enjoyed it was ok.

Nice episode!

Definitely one of my favorites. So many fun things to watch for. Yetta talking about Millie, The Fiddler Dream, Fran's parents, Donald, and of course the Dick Van Dyke parody. C.C. played a fantastic Sally. One more thing that you do not see in syndication is the definition for "The Thing" as the action stops and the words appear at the bottom of the screen. Loved that part when this episode originally aired.

After the last 2 eps, this was a welcome change! This was great from beginning to end- starting with Fran's line re: Hugh Grant: "What a heada hair and that adorable accent and me stuck in the house all day! Where am I ever gonna meet a guy like that?!" The inside joke about the perky brunette & Max tripping over the ottoman was so funny- especially when Yetta went to the mirror and yelled "And there's Millie!". Max really admitted his feelings to Niles more in this one than ever before and that was very sweet. (Poor Niles- I'm not going anywhere, sir). The Dick Van Dyke parody remains one of my top favorites of all time from ANY sitcom. Everyone had their parts nailed! Overall, a fantastic episode!

I loved this episode. It was so funny. The dream scene and the Dick Van Dyke parody was so funny. I agree with whoever else said that Lauren was a great Sally and Danny as Mel, LOL. Just a great epiosde.

one of my favs, great fun and the dream sequence cracks me up every time I watch it

I had to give this one a ten, which i rarely do. The parodies of "Fiddler on the Roof" and "The Dick Van Dyke show" put it over the top in my book. This episode is a perfect example of the humor and creativity that defined the nanny. Another touch that i loved in the original airing was the definition of "the thing" being displayed across the screen. Everything flawlessly flowed together despite the fact that there were so many random, unconnected references. TEN!

I really loved this episode because there is a "hidden romance" because Mr.Sheffield found that he couldn't live with out her! I also love the dream! This is a really great episode!!!!

I got a kick out of this episode. It was light weight but fun. Max's fake dream was good and Fran's reaction was amusing. The tag scene at the end was also classic.

I really enjoyed this ep! I thought the end with Sylvia and Morty Drescher playing those senior citizens from Florida testing restaurants was awesome!

great ep!

It was an 'eh' episode to me. I think it was cute how much Maxwell missed her and tried to get her to leave.

I also loved the 'dream' sequence and the DVD parody. Another 'not great, not bad' episode. I also liked exactly how Niles knew that Fran had been fired!

Hi,my name is Carolina to Argentina,I see you every day in my country you are my idol send you all my atmiration and my love.

i enjoyed "The Rosie Show" very much,as it was again and again a pleasure to watch fran and her reproachs in respect of the 'thing'.sometime it would have been lost its flair,but not at this point.there was frans cute behaviour,when she used every opportunity to blame max,maxwells attempts to let fran forgot about it and the crazy story of niles and his fight of finding out about the secret.oh and it was so funny when niles said that not even max could have been stupid enough to confess his love to fran and then take it back!what a line!!even better than this was "The Nanny"'s very own definition of 'thing'.the frozen picture was a special highlight of the show,very remarkable,original and,of course,funny."The Rosie Show",in which fran looked like a deam again,presented us some great guest stars,although in europe they weren't as popular as in america.of course in an episode like this there had to be some fine pick up lines of fran.i speak of her lines when she enters max's bedroom and her 'condition'that gave her the possibility to get a little bit closer to max.some other super ideas were the 'vision'of max(ha i laughed when i saw niles cleaning cc's grave)and the successors of frans 'nanny corner'.in addition to this there had to be frans line that even her parents could do that better!who thaught that the graveyard vision couldn't been better,was persuaded by that fantastic "Dick van Dyke Show" parody.i am not able to say who of the Nanny casts made the best appearance in their guest roles.

Niles was so funny! I love Niles!

I thought that the ep was pretty cute- I loved how Max was jealous of her fame, and the Bubby Sophie dream was hilarious. Overall, good ep.

I loved the dream Max had.I couldn't stop laughing after Max said that he was at a party to celebrate Fran's success and that everyone was having a great time and Niles was dusting C.C.'s headstone.

Whew! Tonight's episode was great. Great pace, plot, dialogue, and performances. *This* is how to use VIP guest stars properly - Lainie Kazan and Donald O'Connor were terrific 'cause they were acting, not just strolling across the stage in a "look-who-I'm-friends-with" cameo. Again, as always - it's the writing, the writing, the writing! Frank Lombardi is back and showing everyone how to do it! An almost ROTFL episode - I did guffaw several times :-)

Very nice story! Expecially the reaction of Fran / max during the ceremony...

this is a pretty good ep, but i think it's kinda mean, i don't know why tho'. it wasn't way romantic or way funny. the only scene i really liked was when max wanted to finally tell nileswhat the thing was,but niles went to the bacony. that was great

I really think it was a great ep, I love the dance part, I also love the guest starring of Donald O'connor. Very Funny.

Loved the part when Fran is teaching Fred to dance and she turns her back and he does some fancy footwork. The heart attack scene when he fell on top of Fran and she was bouncing and saying "Oh my God, my God" as Freida looks in was clever, too. However, I still like the ones that focus more on Fran and Max. Not much of the right romance in this one.

I love Frieda episodes. This is my second favorite Frieda episode next to A Fine Family Feud. The scene in the hospital when Sylvia screams is hysterical. Seeing Nettie again is a treat. Donald O' Conner is fantastic and seems to of had a great time on the show. Of course Laine Kazan in my opinion is the greatest of all The Nanny relatives next to Yetta of course. This is a very funny episode.

Nice ep! I love Franīs pantsuit plus Fredīs dancing!!

I loved it when Max was telling Niles what the thing is and Niles was to busy getting rid of C.C. and didn't hear it.

the 'thing',the 'thing',the 'thing'and.......the 'thing'.that neverending story was more than just fun,it was a show of it's own.oh i said it in the last polls,i like frans reproachs.this time it was for example her advice for max that he should visit frieda and take his offer,to let the wedding take place in the sheffield house back,as he was an expert in taking things back.ha!and also niles got his 'thing' scene,when max finally came round to inform him,but the poor butler wasn't able to catch one word,since of cc's disturbance(hee,what a scream!)there was also this great idea to let niles tell cc that it was max who had a heart attack in frans bed.but in my eyes by far the best line was fran's concerning the accursation of having an affair with fred that gave her the feeling as if she had been a trainee in the white house.what would have done comedy stars like jay leno and even a lot of sitcoms without the little affair of bill clinton.america is such a great country.in general i liked the whole story.that includes the appearances of frieda,nettie and fred.my last words relate to fran:if i had been fred and i would have been close to her wearing that dance dress,it wouldn't have been the rigor mortis that she had felt.wow,and then her navy dress.i really loved that woman.

Ok this was one episode I really could not stand. First of all, it's sad to say but I would have thought the same thing Frieda did when she saw Fran and Fred in Fran's room. Also this episode you could see how desperate Fran really is. When Fred asked Fran to marry him she hesitated, but then the second he said she could have whatever she wanted she grabbed the flowers and said ok let's go. Maybe that was supposed to be funny, but I thought it was Pathetic!

An okay episode but it sort of lacked interest for me. I didn't like the character of Freida much. She was too over the top and obnoxious. My other complaint concerns the belaboring of The Thing. Poor Niles. The writers should have given him and us a break and let him find out what it was.

Great episode.I love it. Specially Maxīs jealosy. Donald O'connor dances amazing!!!

Quite funny, but not too romantic.

I didn't like this one much, either --- although Donaold O'Connor's classic "Make 'Em Laugh" at the end was terrific! The whole desperate and dateless Fran was a bit over the top. And although I like Frieda in some episodes, I didn't think much of this one.

I'm from Brazil. This ep. is very nice!

I thought this was a pretty good ep. I liked the whole dude dancer thing. And thought I was Hilarious when Fran said," Let me get this straight...your taking it back for him???" I thought that was classic!!

I absolutely love this one. It has it all. Laughs, lust, laughs, lust.... LOL The best scene has to be the one where Niles catches Max and Fran on his desk looking alternately guilty and pleased. All three actors expressions are perfect and I could watch it over and over and over..... ;-) The cat fight with 'Crystal and Alexis' is hilarious too as is the opening scene with Max trying to hide from his father until it's too late and Fran has to come to the 'rescue'.

This episode has my all time favorite Yetta scene. I remember watching the dinner segment over and over again. The audience reactions to Yetta and Sylvia proved how popular they were to the show. This is my favorite episode of the 4th season. Joan Collins was a perfect guest star. Here's to "Niomi and Wynonna", "Isn't this delightful", and " I came with her, she's my daughter".

It was so romantic !!! The kiss on the desk...oy ! I just loved it !!!

THIs WAS A GREAT ONE!! The desk part was the best !!

Ooh, I love that one! My favorite line was Niles' "Relive the magic at home", but my favorite scene is the desk scene, not a doubt about it! I guess I just had my mouth agape when I saw this episode for the first time, thinking "Yes! At last!"

Wonderful ep!!!!!! I love every part. It was very funny. All the kissing was great, just as Niles telling C.C. the story. Just a question : Were Fran and Max dating or something?...........[webmaster's note: ummm, no. Thus Fran's comment at the beginning when being introduced to James saying "I'm Fran, Maxwell's...well it depends on what day it is." This was the beginnings of the very changable state of the relationship depending on Maxwell's (or the writer's) mood.]

Although I loved parts of this episode -- the whole 'desk' scene was one part, outside the museum was another and. of course, Yetta and the talking pig -- I found it hard to like other parts. I found 'Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield' (Robert Vaughn and Joan Collins) to not be very likable people at all. I know they were supposed to be like that but I just couldn't like them so any scene with them in it just turned me off.

I love this episode. Favorite moments: "Did anyone see "Babe?", "Pig can't read..he must've used q-cards", and "I came with her" by Yetta; Fran and Joan admiring each other's outfits, and Sylvia's comments about Sheffild Sr.'s tie. Very funny episode, although not the most romantic one.

I thought it was great! But darn!, if James Sheffield hadn't walked in.....;D

if you ever be asked by someone what you adore of "The Nanny" and was is the series like,show him this episode.despite all happy end stuff in the 5th season i decided for myself that"Me And Mrs.Joan" was the best single episode of all(because the happy end story was a cooperation of several episodes).you had to love simply everything.but why i adore this episode?ok,first there were these fantastic guest stars,that fit exactly into their characters.max's father was the same character as he had been described before and r.vaughn did the rest to star a great james sheffield.what must been said about joan collins;she is a legend and i think her whole appearance was hilarious.i also think that she and fran drescher have not only some personality in common(isn't fran also a diva and siren!).they were also recognized because of a special character.fran for fran and joan for alexis!so it was a special highlight to watch them play together.not without a reason the character joan had some huge things in common with fran,so that this super story of max,his father and their ways of handling their housekeepers could take place.it was the start for a turbulent romantic comedy that create(as i have said it above)the best episode of all.so much fun to see fran picking on max,when she had found out that a sheffield was able to say 'i love you' without taking it back.and of course the office scene of fran and max was the highlight.frans court was so sexy and i almost fell of my chair when max really reacted on her.what a sexy scene,above all,when max throw himself at fran.althoug fran and max were always very sexy together,this happened not every episode.a lot of erotic in my eyes.the 'butler interuptus' was the next super idea and so niles was able to get the next present from cc.nevertheless also this time max and fran didn't come to an end,but it wasn't very annoying......huh this is really getting long.so i mention the other good things more compactly.i think of frans disappointment when max said that he would never made the same sex adventures with his housekeeper like his father did,joans lines concerning her and james sex life,frans ice cube scene,the way niles sat before the intercom and of course the two kisses of fran and max at the beginning and at the end.

I always like the slow scenes filled with romantic tension,(The show is great at these--lots of anticipation with little action), but who could not like the office/desk scene. It was fast and full of action! It sends chills down to my toes every time I see it!

I love the nanny it's my fav show i wish it could still be on

Nice ep!!!

Loved the way Fran and Joan wore the same type of outfits. Also loved the whole kiss idea of avoiding Maxwell's father. And when Max and Fran were on the desk I would have loved to see more without Niles interrupting, but I realize it couldn't be. A good ep.

oh, this episode was really great!i loved the whole thing altogether and every single part of it. i can't even figure out what was one favourite scene. probably all of them. lov ethe scene in the galery and office.

Grandma Yetta steels the show in the dinner sene. Fran is great as always, so is sylvia. Joan collins stinks!!

I thought that this episode was GREAT. I loved it how Fran and Max were kissing on the desk and then Niles walked in!! LOL!!!! And the beginning bit when Max see's his Dad and says something like "Oh my god, there's my father, quick kiss me" hahahahahaha

This episode is definatly faboo!! And without a doubt one of the best made.

well, this was a good ep. i loved everything about it, but the part with yetta was just hilarious!also niles walking in on max and fran. overall i gave it a nine

Unlike most people, I did not like the desk or museum scenes at all. They showed a tremendous lack of taste, even for Fran Fine. I did, however, love the rest of this episode, especially Collins and Vaughan--they were the perfect guest stars. I agree that the fantasy scene and the dinner scene were the best and most hilarious moments.

the best aspect of this ep is that so many characters' assets were displayed beautifully. the wonderful characters created for the show have always been the glue holding everything together. In this episode we saw some great interaction between niles and cc (relive the magic for 19.95), hylarious yetta lines (where did the shrimp come from? i came with her), and the meat of it all--max and fran. this season was a highlight IMO because despite whether or not you liked the plot tactics, you always had to appreciate the fact that the writters really knew the characters, which is something that lacked in the beginning and end of the show.

Oy, this is such a great eppy, especially the desk part!! I love this one!!! :)

Fran and Max have forgotten to left a donīt disturb on the door, then maybe.......

I just loved that ep!!! The desk scene was awesome!

THIS EPISODE WAS GREAT! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITES'S

I agree that there wasn't much that was funny in this episode. It appeared that one scene was put in only to promote her and Leno's book. I'm glad they took a break from the thing that was getting a little old. There wasn't much stuff with the kids so how could Fran have been able to give advice or become the TART WITH HEART If there wasn't any need to. I think this show was ok. with the exception of Charles Shaughnessy who is always a 10!

All I can say is EWWW...I didn't not like this episode, but I gave it pretty good marks

It was ok, definetely not the best. Oh well, at least they got off the "the thing" track for one episode!

What can I say about Taxman? Well, Chester imitating the lions was cute. Other than that, there wasn't much here. It was okay, not awful, just not noteworthy either.

Not very funny, guest stars who remain guest stars and don't turn into characters, and the way the Brighton/Maxwell plotline was resolved was just pretty lame and not very convincing.
And was it really necessary to promote your biographies in such a way, guys? Tsk...

Like Iīve said a couple of times before: Iīve seen better. But I gotta say, Charlie looks : WOW!!!!!!!

Watchable, but definitely less-than-average ep.

While not that memorable an ep, it had some amusing moments. Brighton as Fran's tax advisor and poor Maxwell still struggling to bond with his disinterested son who was more impressed by the fact that the tax guy knew Pearl Jam - as opposed to Pearl Bailey LOL

I would like more fire between fran and max, jay leno was gréat

"Next time you walk into the living room limp, remember your my husband and you've got a disability" this was a cute and funny episode.

Didn't think much of this one... just a big chance for Leno to plug his book --- like Fran plugged all her stuff on his show! The only parts worth watching were the scenes with Max and Brighton 'bonding' to the "Courtship of Eddie's Father" theme -- that guy in the sauna - Double YUK!!!

In case anyone cares to know I always give 10s cause I love this show! [webmaster's note: Then you've missed the point of the poll. We all love the show, but the poll would be pretty boring if every episode got the same score. The poll is intended to show the relative rankings of the episodes. Everybody has favorites and not-so-favorites, we want to know which ones you like most and why. Or which ones you thought were not quite up to the same level of excellence and why.]

Umm, yes this episode ranks among those of lame. It reminded me of why I am glad I did not have a nanny. It was just so odd that the episdoe did not talk about Fran wanting Max because that's pretty much all the other episodes...its gets a big thumbs down!

I hate this episode. Itīs very bored īcause they didnīt talk about Fran and Maxīs relationship.

Four words: THANK YOU DIANE WILK!!! Loved it - one of the best shows in a very long time; it was worth waiting for. I hope this is an example of the trend for the rest of the season. It had everything (comedy, romance, schtick, drama) and was written, acted, and produced with style and class. No VIP cameos to interfere, no gimmicks. They handled eveything with subtlety and finesse. I didn't even mind that the CC/Niles content was small. And didn't Fran get to show her full range as an actress, both dramatically and comically? I guffawed and I cried - what a perfect evening!

I think it's my fav. so far!!! At one point I was almost crying because she picked Nigel over Max. Not a choice I would have made. I especially like the end. It shows you how much Max loves her and needs her. At the very end it's funny when he picks her up and says. "You do realize that it's the other ankle you injured." and it's so cute when he says, "It's alright I've got you." and she says "Boy, do you ever."

What can I say except WOW!!!

This one was a stunner. Beautifully done, beautifully acted. I couldn't help but cry when she was leaving and poor Niles asleep on the couch really tugged at my heartstrings. I'll never be able to hear that song again without thinking of this show.

One word: Depressing . I'm still sniffing from it. Sure, it had its moments... I'm still crying! Aggg,,,I hope next week's is funnier!
