THe WB is launching a sitcom, Living with Fran, featuring former Nanny star Fran Drescher.
The show, which debuts Friday, April 8, at 8:30, is about a divorced woman whose new boyfriend is not that much older than her 21-year-old son.
Living with Fran is from Regency Television, with Drescher one of the exeuctive producers.
