* SpiritualSuccessor: As the main article mentions, ''Living With Fran''. Also, yet ''another'' Spiritual Successor in ''{{Jessie}}'' (on, of all things, the DisneyChannel) by way of Pamela Eells O'Connell, executive producer of both shows.
** In this way, ''The Nanny'' itself could be considered a Spiritual Successor to ''CharlesInCharge'', another show O'Connell produced.

** Also, the fact that both [[MyBiologicalClockIsTicking Fran]] and [[IWantGrandkids her mother]] were so obsessed with Fran having children, it can be kind of hard to watch after you hear about Fran Drescher's battle with uterine cancer that required a radical hysterectomy and left her infertile with no children.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the episode where Maxwell and Fran have to deal with the tabloid, we see a scene where the paper is printing lies about John F. Kennedy, Jr. And mere moments later, the tabloid editor openly brags about the way his paper exploits Princess Diana. Sadly, we all know what happened to both of these public figures within mere years of this episode's original airing...

** When it looked like they were going to die in a plane crash, Maxwell confessed his feelings for Fran. They survived, but Maxwell then took it back... and went back and forth another time. "The thing" haunted Maxwell for pretty much that entire season.

The Steelers actually did play the Detroit Lions that Thanksgiving, and they lost on a controversial coin flip, now forever infamous to Steeler fans.
