Logo: In a dark bedroom, we see a man (who is holding a remote, possibly Peter Marc Jacobson) and a woman (presumably Fran Drescher) in bed, illuminated by a large spotlight. The man and the woman lean in and kiss, and the logo zooms out slightly to reveal the text:
in a scraggly, Addams Family-type font in a picture frame above them. The woman puts her hand on the man's cheek. The man looks at the camera slyly, and then "turns off" the logo, with the spotlight shrinking into the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Variants:
•There is a version that features no zooming out of the logo.
•On The Nanny Christmas Special: Oy to the World had the phrase "In Association With" below the logo. This variant also has the man yawning before he and the woman kiss.
The Dope Diamond: Directed by Dorothy Lyman. With Fran Drescher, Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane. Going out with the man who asks Fran to marry him, he steals the engagement ring that they were looking at.
