The Nanny premiered on TV

November 3, 1993
Fran traveled for the first time over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield’s door when, The Nanny, first aired on CBS-TV on this date.

When the show was broadcast in the U.K., many viewers wrote in to chide Charles Shaughnessy over his “imitation” English accent, and suggested he practice with co-star Daniel Davis on how to do a proper English accent. The cast found this quite amusing, as Shaughnessy is a native Englishman, born in London while Davis is an American, born in Arkansas.
