Fran Drescher’s New Sitcom

Love her or hate her—and I love her!—Fran Drescher is instantly recognizable for her distinctive look and voice. I have been a fan since she starred on The Nanny, so I’m very excited that she’s starring in a new sitcom called Indebted.

Fran will be playing Linda Levin and her on-screen husband “Stew” will be played by Steven Weber. The plot sounds kind of corny but definitely relevant: Aging Boomer parents have to move in with their Millennial kids and grandkids due to excessive debt and medical bills/issues. And, yes, the family is Jewish, of course!

While I recognize that over 20 years has passed since she was playing a nanny, it’s hard to imagine that Fran Drescher is old enough to be a grandmother (that makes me feel ancient, yikes). She still looks very pretty though.

Some of her acting can be over the top, sure, but I love how she’s not afraid of the JAP stereotype and will use her real-life experience for a laugh. I’d much rather watch something silly and stupid, these days, instead of the depressing news that’s on 24/7.

I hope the show is a huge success.

    LOOKING FORWARD TO IT . I LOVE FRAN DRESCHER. I HOPE NBC DOESN’T CANCEL IT AFTER A FEW EPISODES.
    THIS WILL BE THE SECOND SHOW I’LL BE WATCHING ON NBC. I LIKE MANIFEST – IT’S ON MONDAY NIGHTS. NBC HAS CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS , AS HAS ABC AND CBS. I DO HAVE MY OTHER FAVORITES ON THE OTHER STATIONS.

      I agree that network TV has drastically changed. Remember the movies of the week? I loved those! They don’t do those any more and I miss them. They cancel stuff way too fast now, that’s for sure.

        My godmother’s a healthcare worker so quarantine’s been a little different here, but we’re fine. Glad you are too!
