All episodes involved the main women (Fran, Sylvia, Val) eating some kind of food, to the point it made audiences wonder if these actresses couldn't get through a single scene, or act realistically, unless they were busy eating. (Indeed, many actors and actresses get awkward when they worry what to do with their hands.) Many jokes revolved around Sylvia Fine (Renée Taylor) demanding food of butler Niles (Daniel Davis). As the series progressed, she became more overbearing and was often stealing other characters' food, mainly Maxwell's (Charles Shaughnessy's), Niles' or the children's, who then tried to hide their food from her when she came to the house. As a result, Renée gained fifty pounds and her doctor wrote her a note saying no more eating. Subsequently, her character started munching on celery sticks and other diet foods, and she lost a lot of weight by the series' end, whereas Fran Drescher had gained quite a bit by the time her other sitcom, Life with Fran (2005), premiered.
