I've been told that the TV show 'The Nanny' was veeeery much like ILL and I can really see that it's true. Was 'The Nanny' really the ILL of the 90's? Is Fran Drescher Lucille Ball's sucessor? You tell me..or us!

Well, Fran has made no secret of the fact that she worshipped Lucy, so it's normal that as she and her hubby produced her series, that they imitated many I Love Lucy traits.

There is no way that you can even compare Fran to Lucy. It's like comparing Raggedy Ann to Barbie. Lucy is in a class by herself.

I think people usually mention the similarities in the two shows, but as much as i LIKE Fran, she is not fit to touch the hem of Lucy's BURNOOSE, LOL!
