The Nanny Rides Again TV Land is thiiiiis close to greenlighting [1]Fran Drescher?s new sitcom ?Happily Divorced? in which she plays a middle-aged woman who?s back on the dating scene after finding out her husband is gay. Sound familiar? It should ? it?s Drescher?s life story [2]. Since her real-life husband of 21 years came out to her, Drescher has been best friends with her ex ? and a major support of gay rights. It?ll be interesting to see the real-life issues that surround coming out late in life explored on the small screen. And, let?s be honest, it?ll be even more interesting to hear them explored in Drescher?s voice.

You just tell the professor which parts of the curriculum you feel like doing and which part you don?t?
