Fran in the episode plays matchmaker between her grandma Yeta and a Broadway playwright only creating more turmoil for her boss Maxwell Sheffield. Fran Drescher was known throughout the series for wearing tight clothes, as well short dresses and skirts, it became a running gag for the character. Brenda Cooper who was the costume designer for the series would often mix fast-fashion-ready-to-wear brands found at malls with luxury-designer-brands. The mix of high and low fashion brands contributed to the iconic style of the character that has generated social media accounts designated to documenting Fran and her clothes.
This lot comes with a DVD box set of season two.
