The Nanny

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

There were plenty of great suggestions for this first recast challenge of 2008! I especially loved the ideas for new actresses to play Fran Fine. My favorites include ChrissyBaby's idea of Ana Ortiz, and kersalli's suggestion of Sandra Bullock.

I also enjoyed the suggestions for the part of Niles, from foudini's idea of Steve Carell, to Hugh Laurie, as WhiplashGirlchild and supertramp suggested.

However, my favorite list this week comes from megan921! To see who megan921 chose, along with a new cast photo, read more

As the show's official website points out, The Nanny was a matter of "blue collar meets blue blood," with the Queens-bred Franny Fine (Fran Drescher) bringing some of her straightforward, nasally attitude to one lucky Upper East Side family. One might say it's like Gossip Girl meets Ugly Betty — but with Fran Drescher.

If you could recast this '90s sitcom, who could you put in Franny Fine's role? Then there's the wealthy family she joins up with: Maxwell Sheffield and his three kids, Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Niles the butler played a big enough role to include, as did Maxwell's business partner, C.C. Babcock.

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, Jan. 8, complete with a "new" cast photo. And thanks to reader ChrissyBaby for this recast suggestion!
