Not surprisingly, they're besties! No, we are not laughing at the characters, we are laughing at YOU, for being so bad as an actor.) I hate these kinds of actors (Kevin James and Adam Sandler are the other 2. She had absolutely no chemistry with any of the actors and appears to be an actress with a humiliation fetish. and we will settle for nothing less! What were they thinking when they wrote this?! This dumb character out of left field, never before seen on the series, that sticks out like a sore thumb is gonna be the new "it' girl? No, thanks. Had this been picked up, exactly what story could they have done in episode two?Ī Nanny spin-off is Niles & C.C. The actor playing the salon owner's son is annoying and has no rapport with Mary Ruth - something crucial to the success of the project. The premise of the departed wife seems forced and is inserted into the story in a very awkward way. What will prim and earnest Mary Ruth bring to the fun flashy salon that it currently lacks? Dull lectures that kill the pace? An earnest attitude that damps down the fun and colour? But overall this seems much too contrived and the leads lack chemistry and charisma. The hunky salon boss she is attracted to isn't too smart, which limits the character and possible stories. Reversing it to have the fish out of water lead character a prim acting hopeful in a trashy and flashy hair salon in Queens isn't much of a fantasy. Fran brings in warmth, fun, glamour, and comedy clashes with her Queens logic. The rich household was elegant but cold and rigid - it lacked a heart. The Nanny was fun as Fran is a street-smart Queens girl living in a fancy mansion in Manhattan with an elegant boss who has a glamorous lifestyle. She might have to leave suddenly if a big acting job comes along. Things fall into place for her when she lands a job at the title hair salon, and can sleep in the backroom. Here the main character is a naïve would-be actress Mary Ruth (Tracy Nelson) with no home or job. But the main similarity is they both failed. The spinoffs had the same basic character types as the parent show, but with some elements switched and reversed. The MTM spinoff had three African American regulars - this has an Asian character and a gay character. The pilot ideas increased the diversity of the regular cast. Another fave sitcom of mine Mary Tyler Moore, also had a similar backdoor pilot (His Two Right Arms) at the end of its second season.
