Julie Hagerty abruptly walked out on the troubled series after a few episodes, leaving the failing series in limbo and finally pushing it to cancellation.
Even in the face of bottom five Nielsen ratings, universally-scathing reviews, behind-the-scenes problems, affiliate defections, and the general apathy of Fran Drescher and CBS programming head Jeff Sagansky, the producers actually considered recasting Julie Hagerty's part (following her departure). Before they managed to get very far, CBS saved them the trouble by canceling the series.
Fran Drescher became friends with model Twiggy and it was Fran's interactions with Twiggy's children that provided the basic plot of her hit series "The Nanny".
