For kids, that made a nice little block of programming on Friday nights. TV historian and author Ed Robertson, who is host of the podcast TV Confidential, reflects, “What I remember most about the show is that for a while it was on Friday night, placed in its first year between The Brady Bunch, which aired at 7:30 on Fridays, and The Partridge Family, which aired at 8:30, which was a nice time slot for it. Yet when you’re a kid immersed in the world of fun television in the late ’60s/early ’70s, and you throw in that amazing theme song, it’s nothing but charm.” But what is this woman and exactly what kind of powers did she have? So it didn’t seem all fleshed out and that confused people. “Juliet Mills was just adorable, but you never really quite knew what Nanny was. “ Nanny and the Professor was a charming half-hour that was somewhere between Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie,” says Herbie J Pilato, author of Mary: The Mary Tyler Moore Story and host of Amazon’s new Classic TV talk show, Then Again.
