Drescher + O’donnell Plan New Sitcom

Posted by Richard Head

Wednesday May 21, 2008

Beloved U.S. TV comedy stars ROSIE O’DONNELL and FRAN DRESCHER are developing a new sitcom about two women coping with mid-life crises.

The two pals hope to star in The New Thirty.

Drescher, who struck TV gold in The Nanny, says, “We play old high school friends who live in the same building in Manhattan, but we’re living very different lives.”

The actress tells Life + Style magazine, “It’s kind of Sex and the City but we ain’t getting any! It’ll probably be more like The Odd Couple.”

    I still watch “The Nanny”. Lots of humor and chemistry between the characters. Usually watch 2 to 3 episodes before I go to bed. Makes me laugh. Relaxes me. And I can’t wait for The New Thirty.

    I love The Nanny, what a great show. I am looking forward to The New Thirty. I love Fran but not so much Odonnel.

    Same here.. My 7 years old son and I still watch “The Nanny” before we sleep. I allow him only because it’s still his vacation. It’s still refreshing to watch all of the characters and Nanny Fran’s body inspires me to take care of mine. I will surely look forward to Fran and Rosie’s new sitcom. As they say.. “Laughter is the best medicine”. :)

    I like the idea of Fran coming back to TV, but Rosie the “PIG” I can do without.

    Love you Fran, The Nanny was just great, my grandson and I watched it and I still watch it every night. Very funny, the cast was great. Rosie is ok but doesn’t seem like a good match for you, I wish you would find someone else, I like the woman that played the wife on the George Lopez show, she is very funny and I think would work well with you, you are both beautiful and funnier if you aint gettin any LOL
