Fran Drescher è stata in lizza per i maggiori premi per ben sei volte: nel 1996 e l'anno successivo ha "rischiato" di vincere l'"Emmy" ed il "Golden Globe" come miglior attrice protagonista in una serie televisiva. Nonostante lo straordinario successo di pubblico, "The nanny" non è stata un situation-comedy molto amata dalla critica, tant'è che ha collezionato infinite nominations, ma si è aggiudicata solo due premi: lo "Young Artist Award" andato a Benjamin Salisbury nella categoria "Best Performance by a Young Actor: TV Comedy Series" (1996) e l'"Emmy" a Brenda Cooper, costumista del telefilm.

Ascolta la sigla de: "La tata"

She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens,
Til her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes.
What was she to do, where was she to go
She was out on her fanny.
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door,
She was there to sell make up but the father saw more,
She had style, she had flair, she was there,
That's how she became the Nanny.
Who would have guessed that the girl we described
was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?
Now, the father finds her beguiling, watch out C.C.,
The kids are actually smiling, such joie de vivre
She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan.
The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran.
