Yes, it is. Fran Drescher appeared twice in that show. In fact, she was slated for her own spinoff, but it wasn't bought. Drescher got her revenge by cloning the show, or copying many of its elements--including full episodes and scenes---without ever attributing any credit where it was due. In fact, the entire premise of the show (housekeeper falls for their boss, love unrequited, non-consummated, pining over the other etc.) is reproduced down to a T. Read the Trivia pages for each episode, and you're sure to find a lot of eye-opening information in that regard, along with the Who's The Boss? corresponding episode name.
No one has answered this question yet.
Yes. It is originally Mona who says that to Tony, in Who's the Boss?, while opening the door to the kitchen, after coming down from her apartment. She asks "Do I smell _______?!" (the dessert that Tony had baked.) This phrase was lifted from here by the writers of The Nanny and made a running gag in their sitcom. If Mona was never after food, the way that Sylvia is, the gag originated here, as did nearly all of The Nanny scenes, characters, gags and scripts.
She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens,
'till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes.
What was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on her fanny.
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffields door,
she was there to sell make-up but the father saw more.
She had style. She had flair. She was there. Thats how she became the Nanny.
Who would have guessed that the girl we described
was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?
Now, the father finds her beguiling (Watch out C.C.)
The kids are actually smiling, such joie de vivre
She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan.
The flashy girl from Flushing. The Nanny named Fran.
