Meet Rashad, a manny following in the footsteps of others.

Only Manny in My Life - Another option would be Darkanian letting Crystal and Rashad continue to see each other. Rashad could be the only man in her life (technically). Perfect solution, right?Just think of Rashad and Crystal walking along the beach with Darkanian close by to be sure no one snaps any pictures of the real couple.(Photo: BET)

Sandy on Friends - Although it was only for one episode, Freddie Prinze Jr.'s guest appearance as male nanny Sandy had such a huge impact that Google searches to this day are ripe with commentary. The episode dealt primarily with gender roles and perceptions about mannies, with the character Ross feeding into the notion that a man can't (read: should not) be sensitive the way Sandy is.

Uncle Joey from Full House - Although he's probably more famous for ruining Alanis Morrisette's life, Dave Coulier was at one point best known for being Uncle Joey, the comedic friend of Danny Tanner who helps babysit his daughters after the death of his wife.

Joey in Melissa & Joey - So basically Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Melissa Joan Hart--no relation to Kevin) and the "Whoa!" kid from Blossom (Joey Lawrence) get together in another sitcom in which the latter is a manny to the former's niece and nephew because he lost his job in a Ponzi scheme. It's pure '90s retro fun in this family show!  (Photo: ABC Family)

Lynn Belvedere in Mr. Belvedere - English actor Christopher Hewitt portrayed the utterly proper titular character in this 1985 series. Much like what Geoffrey was to the Banks family in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Mr. Belvedere was the same for the Owens family in this charming show about one English gentleman's adjustment to life in Pittsburgh, PA.
