The fish out of water story was what made the show great. Another element of the show that helped it stand out was the romance between Fran and Mr. In fact, CC attempts to woo Sheffield at every turn. Ironically enough, she would end up with Niles the butler.
This was problematic for the show, according to Drescher. As much as you want the people to get together, as soon as they do, people start tuning out.
Until that point, they always address each other with proper employer-employee politeness, i. By the fifth season, Mr. Sheffield and Miss Fine begin a tentative romantic relationship, which consisted of a very large milestone: calling each other by their first names.

The sixth season is a tough one. Drescher and Jacobson have gone on record saying they never really wanted Maxwell and Fran to get together as they feared it would cause the show to fizzle. Unfortunately, the network insisted they put on a wedding or they would pull the plug.
