tsasa198 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.

jshaffer-6 This show should be required viewing for any parents who have ever felt at a loss with their young children. The nanny, Jo, is a very personable, pleasant young woman. She shows by example what should be done with children and parents. I will admit that her schedules can be a little much, but if they suffice to get the family working together, then I guess the viewers can stand it. The thing I like the most about it is that she teaches the parents to play with their children and enjoy them, instead of just disciplining them. Discipline is necessary, but you don't need as much of it if you are enjoying your children and loving them. A child needs to know where the lines are drawn, so a naughty spot is a handy gadget until they understand for themselves. But discipline, or correction, will never take the place of leading the way, instead of pushing from behind. The reason Jo leaves half way through the show, is to allow the parents to see if they can handle it yet by themselves. This shows up any weak spots in the parents' approach and can be corrected easily in the last 10 minutes of the show. Wouldn't you love to see what this looked like if they actually had to shoot it in 60 minutes? By the way, don't confuse this show with Nanny 911 which has several different nannies, assigned to 'cases'. Those nannies are very standoffish and mostly it consists of telling the parents what they are doing wrong.

amcfan84 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.
