Being or becoming a parent is definitely not an easy task, especially with our busy schedules. The question is, how do you balance your work life and raise your kids? Thankfully Jo Frost puts it right. She finds middle ground between parents and their kids so there is no power struggles and of course frequent misbehaving. Of course some kids consider Jo to be "mean" when in reality she's being strict and eventually they learn to follow through. I like how she admonishes any irresponsible parent and gets them to get with it. I learned many parenting things from this show, from potty training, time-outs, rewards, homework time and so on. A must watch for any parent!

I have a question about the show if it was on this year then how come I didn't see it on TV hope someone can answer my question and if it is now on foxtel please tell me what channel.I love that show and I would love to see it again or I might download all the series.It is a great show and I would love to see it again.If any of you could tell me why I can't see it I would love to know why and if it is on TV I would like to know what channel thanks :DI hope this is a comment one of you can answer because I have always wondered why it hasn't come back up on TVI would love to know because I really like that show :D

The reason that this show exists is really quite simple. You serve the masses the low brow entertainment of watching kids behave badly, and then you double their pleasure by playing into their need for authority as we have some crazy lady come in and reign the wicked little things in. It is Trash TV, plain and simple, so while I stared blankly at the TV for an hour and wasn't bored I also knew that I certainly wasn't being nourished. It also goes without saying that the profession of Supernanny is totally made up. Even more fantasy based is this notion that someone can just come in and fix years worth of parenting problems by making the parents participate in kindergarten like exercises ("Carry this backpack around, it symbolizes the weight Mom carries around everyday.") I also found it to be pretty darn odious that the kid was seen as blameless. In the episode I watched Supernanny must have uttered the phrase ADHD a thousand times in justifying the kids behavior. That is fine, but, to then take all the blame and place it at the feet of the dad, and to say that all this is his fault because after exerting himself all day he is going upstairs and decompressing for too long is the kind of bargain basement theorizing I would expect from a network reality TV show in the year 2007. Maybe Mom should be a working girl on the side, you know, to bring some extra cash in and help Dad out. Or maybe (and this is almost a guarantee) if Dad is not allowed to relax after work at home then he might move his R&R location to the local watering hole.I also couldn't help but feel scorn for the people of this country who watch this week after week. "Freaks and Geeks": one season. "The Comeback": one season. "Supernanny": continuing to thrive well into its second season, as sad as it is this is what we like to watch. I would say that the most important lesson I learned here was never to have kids. Of course I swore off reproducing years ago, but this show made certain that I didn't get an unwelcome visit from my biological ticking clock in a couple years. If I had to pick a positive I guess I would say that at least my friend Supernanny preached a message of positive thinking. The elimination of parents who push negativity towards their children's homework will do wonders for the kids view of homework. In the end, this show kind of sucks. Just another example of fools who are more than happy to air their dirty laundry in the name of getting their ugly mugs on TV. It is sad and disturbing. It is the kind of slop Oprah used to roll around in before she went into bigger goals like encouraging America to read (God Bless Her) and swaying Presidential politics. Supernanny is egotistical, longwinded, and not too bright. . .and so is "Supernanny." I'll watch the show again if I get the promise that the episode involves the kids beating her at every turn, outsmarting her and her elementary tactics, to the point where she is forced to hang up her cape out of frustration.

ABC has tried to make another show like Fox's Nanny 911, but it wasn't quite the same. Jo didn't seem to get through to the kids as fast as they do on 911.Actually, Jo got through to them 10 minutes before the show was over. The parents, unusually, were completely willing the whole time to do what Jo said. Completely cooperative parents is something you never see on 911. And then about halfway through the show Jo leaves, watches the family through some other building by cam, and then comes back and says all the things the parents have done wrong while she was out. I kind of thought that the nannies on 911 got closer to the children, like it wasn't just a "job" or something, they loved working with them. I wasn't left with that with Supernanny. It wasn't a bad show, overall, but if you're looking for the best show like this, I'd say watch nanny 911 instead.
