Highschool Sweethearts

Background

Launched in 1995, Highschool Sweethearts was a production company owned by Fran Drescher and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson. The company's main purpose was to produce The Nanny, of course; they also co-produced (albeit being uncredited) the 1997 Paramount Pictures film The Beautician and the Beast. When the show ended in 1999, Drescher and Jacobson closed the production company; Drescher later formed Uh-Oh Productions.

Logo (September 11, 1995-June 23, 1999)

Visuals: In a dark bedroom, there is a man (who is holding a remote, possibly Peter Marc Jacobson) and a woman (presumably Fran Drescher) in bed, illuminated by a large spotlight. The man and the woman lean in and kiss, and the logo zooms out slightly to reveal the text:

Highschool
SweetHearts

in a scraggly, Addams Family-type font in a picture frame above them, and with a red heart below. The woman puts her hand on the man's cheek. The man looks at the camera slyly, and then "turns off" the logo, with the spotlight shrinking into the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Variants:

There is a version that features no zooming out of the logo.
The Nanny Christmas Special: Oy to the World had the phrase "In Association With" below the logo. This variant also has the man yawning before he and the woman kiss.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A Kenny G-esque saxophone tune. Original CBS airings used a generic theme.

Availability: Seen on seasons 3-6 of The Nanny on CBS.
