Depraved Bisexual: Charles Shaughnessy, aka Maxwell from The Nanny, guest stars in the Season One finale as Gregory Sherwood, a man who managed to seduce both Fran and Peter (neither of whom realized till the very end) and lure them into his hotel room. Fran tells Peter "He's straight!" Peter tells Fran "He's gay!" Gregory suddenly announces that "He's boooth!!" and invites them both to bed. Fran and Peter turn him down.

Actor Allusion

comment
Actor Allusion: When Charles Shaughnessy (Fran's co-star from The Nanny) guest stars, Fran has a crush on him and pictures herself married to him with three kids and a butler. Combined with Leaning on the Fourth Wall when Renee Taylornote who played Fran's mother in The Nanny shows up once: They even add to this by having Ann Guilbert play the role of Renee's character's mothernote like she did on The Nanny.

Incompatible Orientation: Fran and Peter didn't learn this until they had been married for about 20 years, but it's what ends their marriage — Peter's gay and Fran's straight.

Life Embellished

comment
Life Embellished: The show is essentially a lighter, softer, and wackier version of what happened with the real life Fran and Peter. The general premise of Fran and Peter divorcing after Peter came out as gay is real, however, in real life, the revelation left Fran and Peter not speaking to each other, and it was only Fran Drescher's uterine cancer diagnosis that led them to reconcile.

Amicable Exes: Essentially the premise of the entire show. Despite Fran and Peter's marriage being over because he's gay, the two are still great friends and hold no animosity toward each other over it.
