 but CBS ultimately decided against Drescher's wishes and axed the entire show (only five episodes out of the eight produced were aired).The show ended up ranking 118th out of 132 shows that season, averaging only a 6.3 household rating.Shortly after the cancellation, an accidental meeting gave Drescher a chance to pitch a new television series to Sagansky, and she came up with her hit show "The Nanny".
