Saturday Stealing with The Nanny...

The Nanny

Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! 

Saturday 9: The Nanny (1993)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song is the theme from a sitcom that originally aired from 1993 to 1999. Were you a fan?  I think I watched it once or twice, but frankly, I can't stand her voice for more than two minutes.

2) The song tells us that Fran once worked in a bridal shop. Have you ever worked in a retail setting?  No. 

3) The kids in the Sheffield household appreciate their nanny's "joie de vivre," which is defined as "exuberant enjoyment of life." Are you feeling joie de vivre this morning?  I usually experience an exuberant enjoyment of life, especially now that I am retired.  :)

4) "The Nanny" is the colorful one, the one who wears red when everyone else wears tan. What color do you think you look best in?  Joe says green. I know I look awful in navy blue.

5) The TV show, The Nanny, was the brainchild of actress Fran Drescher. She got the idea while visiting her old friend in London. Her friend's pre-teen daughter enjoyed having Fran as a confidante and shopping buddy. Do you enjoy shopping as a leisure activity? Or would you prefer to just dash into a store, grab what you need, and get out and go home?  I don't enjoy shopping at all.  Go in, get what I need, and leave.  It's very rare if I spend more than 30-45 minutes in a store and that includes the grocery.

6) The friend Fran was visiting in London was Twiggy, who was the world's most famous model in the 1960s. Name another famous model.  Cheryl Tiegs.

7) The Nanny: The Complete Series is available on DVD on Amazon. It consists of 19 discs and takes 55 hours to watch, start to finish. What TV show have you recently binge-watched?  We are binge-watching Blue Bloods right now. Started with season one and will work through them all. Not sure why we didn't know it was so good!

8) The Nanny theme was sung by Liz Callaway. Her father, the late John Callaway, was a long-time Chicago newscaster. Have you, or has a loved one, ever been on TV?  I was on the Aunt Fran show when I was about five. I have no recollection though.  I've said before that my cousin, Justin Chambers, is on Grey's Anatomy.

9) Random question -- Which of these adjectives comes closest to describing you: sexy, sophisticated or down-to-earth?  Down-to-earth. No question!! LOL
