It is disappointing that she was not nominated for an Emmy for this series. Her comic timing, her gentle way with her character, her facial expressions were so priceless reminds me now of how my own mother is advancing in her years. There were several characters which have been mentioned before in other reviews all of which I loved.but by far the best was ANN GUILBERT as the grandmother.

Fran knew exactly how far to push her lovable kitschy style and always kept it in check with her timing and sexy panache.
