Also, #TheNanny S2 doubles down on guest stars, inviting The Price Is Right's Bob Barker to cameo in a posh celebrity restaurant.
The Russian version features a middle-grade sushi joint Yakitoria (oh, the luxuries of early 2000s Moscow!) with body doubles for Alla Pugacheva and Philipp Kirkorov.
Some fascinating changes in #TheNanny S2E11, where Maxwell hosts a spoiled child star in hopes of getting him to headline his musical.
• In the US, the kid got his fame through sitcoms. In Russia, through commercials.
• Niles is all too eager to take his money. Russian "Niles" proudly rejects him.
Miss Fine & Mr. Sheffield aka Fran Drescher & Charles Shaughnessy reunite to go see new musical written by ‘The Nanny’ co-creators

Another fun detail.
In the US version, distraught C.C. hides for a smoke in the bathroom. Russian "C.C." eats her stress away in the pantry.

In S1E20, Fran wants to see Barbra Streisand's concert.
And though by that point #TheNanny already got big enough to have star cameos (Dan Aykroyd and his gap), it wasn't Barbra-big, so they used a lookalike.
Meanwhile, the RU version features our biggest star of the 2000s, Nikolay Baskov himself!
One hilarious change is toward the end of the episode, when the rejected groom decides to gracefully leave the party through the back door.
Except in the Russian version the family lives on the second floor.

#TheNanny S1E17
• In the US series, Maxwell's sister marries an English duke. In the RU adaptation, a Lithuanian baron.
• In the adaptation, the Jewish boy-next-door has not yet been introduced (that episode is near the end of S2), so they just throw out Maggie's storyline and invent a random DJ.
Just finished the final episode of #TheNanny. What to watch next? 🤔
Don't mind me, just watching #TheNanny to escape real life for a bit.

After some culturally specific episodes, it's always fun to check how they were adapted.
In the US, the climax of the Christmas episode is set during the church service. In Russia, it's at the New Year's Eve school performance, with a therapist substituting for a priest.
#TheNanny
My brain refuses to accept that this boy is somehow NOT Ryan Gosling.
(like, I kid you not, Benjamin Salisbury and Gosling were born less than a month apart!)
#TheNanny
I've fully synchronized with my parents when they were my age.
After a full day of work, I only have enough energy left for an episode or two of #TheNanny over dinner.
But where in the 2000s my mom watched the Russian adaptation, myself and companion are discovering the OG with Fran Drescher.
I'm not sure if I am currently Grandma Yetta or if I am slowly phasing into her...

My grandparents' had plastic wrap on their couch. It stuck to my thighs. Those were good times
#TheNanny
I just started rewatching #TheNanny on #Prime and I'm immediately hit with a crap ton of nostalgia. Be prepared for a load of Nanny-themed posts.
First up: Doesn't Maggie absolutely SLAY in this evening gown?!
A shout out in the universe for The Nanny! Watched it with my young kids in the '90s, now watching it with my morning coffee in my retirement, thankful for the LOL moments in a mixed-up, scary world. Thank you #FranDrescher! #comedy #thenanny #television #gratitude

They should randomly switch out this Bette Davis movie "Nanny" with the sitcom one from scene to scene. 😂
