Good Morning America

Good Morning America: Good Morning America (GMA) is an American morning news and talk show that is broadcast on the ABC television network. Even cute gets old. Usually that little fact of life is more a blessing than a problem.

Obviously, Fran Drescher has aged since her delightful star-making 1993 turn in The Nanny, as have we all. If she hadn't, for one thing, she wouldn't be on TV Land, which is trying to franchise middle-age nostalgia.She's still a talented comic actor. She still has that distinctive, nerve-jangling voice. She's still a beautiful woman.

What she doesn't seem to realize, at least in this semi-autobiographical show that she and her ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson have written for her, is that she's not precisely the same beautiful woman she was 20 years ago.Yet here she is, trying to pull off the exact same routine that worked for her in her 30s  the same contrast between the sexy come-hither bod and the comic go-thither voice and not noticing that it doesn't sit as well on her as it did then. 

The act is tired, and at times more than a little inappropriate. But then the same can be said of her underachieving sitcom, which wastes Best in Show's John Michael Higgins in a stereotypically swishy role as Fran's gay soon-to-be-ex husband.
