Welcome to part one of the Elizabeth Taylor sitcom movie.

Yes, the Elizabeth Taylor, or as Biles the Nutler refers to her as, Tiz Naylor. The series of four sitcom episodes on that particular Monday night was opened by this episode of "The Nanny" where la Liz comes to visit Maxwell and entrusts Fran with a huge necklace to get to a photographer's studio. There's not only Liz here, but Rosie O'Donnell as Cosette, the lady cab driver ("How revolting!") with absolutely no people skills, resulting in Fran getting amnesia after hitting her head and forgetting what happened to the necklace.

Both guest stars only have one scene but they are both very funny, especially Liz spoofing her public image including her marital record. The mention of Liz as a guest on "Here's Lucy" brings on laughs out of irony mainly because Liz and Lucy didn't get along. Fran gets to make fun of her voice, another episode highlight. More fun comes from Sylvia and Grandma Yetta, as well as Niles and C.C.'s reactions to the two time Oscar winning star. A classic episode ends up being one of the top episodes of the entire series.
