Side characters are the funny ones

The first half of the final season of the Nanny was highly predominated by Fran's intense fixation of becoming pregnant. Just like her fixation with getting Maxwell to date and marry her, it's not the least bit funny. It's just cringeworthy.

In this episode, Fran, having learned the episode prior that her pregnancy test falsely reported a pregnancy, is absolutely OBSESSED with becoming pregnant. She will stop at nothing to have a child, which includes doing it with Maxwell backstage at the Hollywood Squares. Gross.

This is one episode where the side characters are much funnier than the main characters. CC and Niles, for instance, are sexually attracted to each other after eating some cookies that stimulates sex drive. The kids watching this all play out are readily confused by Niles and CC's actions. And of course Val is her typical dumb blonde self. These side plots were great! But the main conflict, just STOP.
