The awning over the ornate entrance proclaims this “THE ARLINGTON”. Despite all the twinkle lights and Christmas wreaths, the building remains forbidding and otherworldly. A Gothic castle in midtown Manhattan. Below the awning a plump uniformed doorman, HECTOR MALO, dances around to keep warm.
Scripts for the iconic 90's sitcom, The Nanny. I loved this show as a kid, so I was happy to find some screenplays for season one on this fansite. Unfortunately, they were all formatted like transcripts, and not in proper screenplay format.

"Pilot" is the premiere of the first season of the CBS television series The Nanny was aired on November 3, 1993.
Fran has just been dumped by her fiancé and employer, and is selling cosmetics door-to-door, when she happens to be in the right place at the right time.
Fran Fine, the Jewish girl from Flushing, Queens, worked at the bridal shop of her fiancé, Danny. However, Danny dumps Fran for their high school friend, Heather Biblow and fires her as he wants to give Fran's sales job to Heather. Fran decides to try selling cosmetics door-to-door. The first house she knocks on is that of British widower and Broadway theater producer, Maxwell Sheffield. Niles, the Sheffield's proper, but quick-tongued butler, mistakes Fran as the new nanny for Maxwell's children: shy teenager Maggie, precocious preteen Brighton, and angst ridden adolescent Grace. The only adult female influence in the Sheffield household is C.C. Babcock, Maxwell's business associate who obviously is attracted to Maxwell, but not his children. Niles' favorite pastime is tormenting C.C.
Although Maxwell quickly realizes Fran is not a nanny, he hires her anyway on a temporary basis as the nanny agency is unable to send anyone else immediately. Fran ends up being not your traditional nanny. She first decides that she will eat meals with the family. Although, the biggest decision she makes is that she and the kids will crash Maxwell's upcoming investor's party at the house. Having the kids at the party ends up being a windfall as the investors love them. However, Fran gets in the doghouse when Maxwell catches Maggie in the embrace of the party waiter, who gives her her first ever kiss. Maxwell and Fran argue specifically about how Maggie should be raised in her formative teenage years. Maxwell promptly fires Fran over this incident. Fran takes solace at her mother's house. Fran's retreat back to Queens is short-lived as Maxwell quickly realizes that Fran may have been right. Perhaps Fran Fine will have a life at the Sheffield household after all.

•This episode was shot in early 1993 at Culver Studios in Culver City, California. After a pilot presentation in April 1993, the series was picked up by CBS shortly after.
•In the pilot presentation, there was a different bridal shop scene, a live-action opening credits featuring only Drescher that was set to "If My My Friends Could See Me Now" (performed by Gwen Verdon) and an office scene featuring Maxwell, C.C. and Niles that took place before Fran arrived at the Sheffield residence. The bridal shop scene was reshot, the live-action opening credits were scrapped, the live-action opening credits were replaced with a new animated opening credits and the office scene was excluded from the final product.
•Most of the set designs in this episode differed from the ones used for the rest of the series. This because when filming a pilot episode for a proposed series, rented sets that were leftover from other television programs are used instead of purchasing all new sets. This is to save money just in case the pilot isn't picked up by a television network.
•The set used for the house is from the cancelled NBC show The Powers That Be.
A script, on the other hand, is what the actors, directors, writers, and the crew, (basically everyone involved with shooting an episode), works from. It contains directions, descriptions, dialogue and usually stuff that didn't make it into the aired episode.
