Yes, Drescher had a rare playfulness in the role that was a throwback to screwball comedies. The rest of the cast were good foils, as well, especially extending out into Fran's family.

The show also displayed a high regard for older sitcoms.

When she came forward with her rape story it was just devastating. Talk about the dark side of comedy.
