Product Description Fran Drescher returns for a star-studded third season of The Nanny, available for the first time on DVD. This year, the best-dressed nanny dates more men than she can handle, hosts a wild sweet sixteen party for Maggie, seeks treatment for her out-of-control shopping and finally gets Mr. Sheffield to profess his love for her when he thinks their plane will crash. Featuring an array of guest stars including Elizabeth Taylor, this three-disc DVD set also contains the rarely seen but unforgettable animated "Oy to the World" holiday episode. .com The Nanny may be many things, but subtle isn't one of them. Nanny Fine's whine and wardrobe are as loud as the laugh track, but her heart's in the right place in actor/producer Fran Drescher’s fish-out-of-water sitcom. In her third season, the "flashy girl from Flushing" continues to add pizazz to the staid Manhattan world of the Sheffields, while her mother, Sylvia (Renée Taylor), keeps up the pressure for her to marry a rich man. Granted, Fran’s debonair employer, Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy), fits the bill--and the two do share a mutual attraction--except Fran has her sights set on a Jewish doctor rather than a Broadway producer. If she met her match too soon, the show wouldn’t have lasted six seasons. Instead, Fran falls for a con artist, a mobster, and New York Ranger Mike LaVoe. Romance aside, she bumbles into numerous (mis)adventures throughout this 27-episode collection, like a stint on Jeopardy (featuring Alex Trebek), an appearance on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (with Jane Seymour), an afternoon with Elizabeth Taylor, and a day in court, during which her senile Uncle Manny (Milton Berle) represents her. Unlike many '90s comedies, The Nanny held onto the same cast, and year three comes compete with wisecracks from Max's assistant, C.C. (Lauren Lane), his kids (Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury, and Madeline Zima), Fran’s Yetta (Ann Guilbert), and Niles the Butler (Daniel Davis, a Yank with a spot-on English accent). Though extras aren't part of the package, this three-disc set includes the trippy animated special "Oy to the World" featuring talking dogs and lovesick clouds. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Finally! The Nanny season three
I'm glad they have finally released this wonderful season of this great show to DVD. The third was one of the best. The second season was released way back in 2006. So it's been nearly three years now since a season of this wonderful show has been released. I hope the studios continue with releasing the series by releasing season four sometime in the near future. I know I'd buy them all instantly as they come out. The 27 episodes contained in this set are as follows:Disc One:The Pen PalFranny and the ProfessorThe Dope DiamondA Fine Family FeudVal's ApartmentShopaholicOy Vey, You're GayThe Party's OverThe Two Mrs. SheffieldsDisc TwoHaving His BabyThe Unkindest CutThe KibbutzAn Offer She Can't RefuseOy To The World - Special animated Christmas episodeFashion ShowWhere's FranThe GrandmasVal's BoyfriendDisc ThreeLove is a Many Blundered ThingYour Feets Too BigWhere's the Pearls?The Hockey ShowThat's Mid-LifeThe Cantor ShowGreen CardShip of Fran'sA Pup In ParisThe Only thing I don't like about this set is the way the discs themselves are contained. The case is a standard size dvd case and all three discs are just stacked in there on top of each other. It could be very easy for them to get scratched in this way. But all in all this is a great set. Worth the price if you are a Nanny fan.

Love the Nanny!
This was such a funny show, and I still enjoy watching it. The characters are so well-developed, and I find myself laughing out loud every time I watch. Shows like this have become rare with the "reality show evolution." I like a good comedy, and The Nanny always delivers!UPDATE: I purchased this DVD while recuperating and didn't pay close attention to the set, and hadn't watched in a couple years. Breaking it out yesterday, I noticed two things. First, no episode guide came with my set, and the fact that the discs are on top of each other is a real issue - the can get scratched easily - very poor planning on Sony's part.Second, The music has changed in the episodes. In Val's Apartment, it should be Judy Garland singing, and that is not what is heard, which really ruins the concept, as Mr. Sheffield gives Fran a Judy Garland CD at the end of the show.

Bravo!
Many encores and gracious accolades to Sony for their decision to release Season 3 of the Nanny! After checking with the Amazon site almost every week since the Summer of 2008 and waiting so patiently, it was a grand, surreal surprise to see the prompt for the pre-order of this item! This series is truly one worth purchasing.It is an item that has been worth waiting for and especially for the faithful Nanny followers who have been hoping for this seasons and the others to be released on DVD! With the release of Season 3, there is a revitalized hope that the other seasons will soon materialize and appear for purchase. Being able to add Season 3 along with Seasons 1 and 2 has created a new excitement. I have really enjoyed watching these episodes and having loads of laughs while I literally "kick-up-my-heels" and relax. With the release of Season 3, having access to the complete collection doesn't look so bleak!

WHY OH WHY OH WHY!!!
I too agree with everyone else who is fed up with Sony!! Why release part of the season without the intention of releasing the entire series? This is an excellent show which has a hugh fan base. The series in syndication is doing very well. So what exactly does Sony want or need to release the rest of this series!I'm wondering will an online petition do any good? Will writing Sony do any good? I would love to know if Fran Drescher has any pull or say in this matter.I've watched Seasons 1 & 2 so much that I have most of the episodes memorized. I find with all the crap that is on tv today I'd rather watch older tv shows on dvd.If anyone has any ideas on how to get the attention of Sony Pictures regarding the release of the rest of the Nanny series please post here and count me in.ENOUGH ALREADY SONY!!!

Funny Show; Terrible Packaging
My review is not about the show, because I am a fan. My problem is with the company's packaging of the discs. The set comes with three discs, but each are stacked on top of one another. To me this was a cheap way to package delicate items. Possibly these discs could become damaged this way. All of my multi-packs have never looked this way. Saving money is fine, but do it in a more common sense factor. Customer satisfaction is highly important, and I don't feel that skimping on quality packaging to protect the goods is a good idea. If the discs become damaged from this, then sales may be lost from word of mouth. Use the appropiate amount of disc storage in the case, which makes sense to me.

The flashy girl from Flushing
Yet another great season of The Nanny! There are some of the best episodes in this season. Flirtations, quips, schemes, man hunting, and the witty verbal jousts between the great duo: C.C. and Niles. If you are a Nanny fan, this is a must!I am excited to have found the first three seasons, but extremely disappointed that the rest of them haven't come out on DVD! Release them, Sony!As for the season set and case, the third season has a different case, and is one hard DVD case, with all of the DVDs in it - though they fit in it well. The quality is decent, and shipping was good, as usual.

Amazing Show, DVDs Were Not the Best
I love this Series, it is always funny and captivating.In season three we deal more with Fran's relationship with Maxwell, it honestly took a while for them to truly start venturing into them as a possible couple. Really the only negative comment I have about this product relates to the package and not the show itself. All three DVDs came to me in a single box, stacked atop one another. That is very bad for the DVDs and them getting scratched. I did have to buff the one in the middle a little to get out a tiny scratch that probably happened during delivery. I suggest buying slips to put them DVDs in or blank cases.
