When I first heard about this show on Oprah, I thought that it was going to be one of those Reality Shows that were pointless. I've watched it for the very first time, Last Night on Life Netwok. It's truned out to be a really good show. One of the Nannies went to the house of a very Disfunctional Family and all of the kids were under 8 years of age. The family was the worst one that the Nanny had to deal with. The kids were beating up on eachother, the Mother was doing all of the chores and the nurturing, and the Father was just lying around doing nothing, and when he did get involved with the kids, he lost his temper and grabbed their arms and gave them three hard spankings on their Butts. He was also very sarcastic towards his Wife. It got to the point where the Nanny had to confront the Husband about the way that he treated both his Wife and Children. The Husband did smarten up, and the Family was a Real Family by the end of the week that the Nanny intervened with them. It turned out to be a really good show. I'm planning on watching it, every Thursday. :D

Nanny 911 is Supernanny but with four nannies and set in America, they use the same techniques as Jo Frost uses, I've always thought Jo was the best nanny in any of these type of shows even better then that Tanya who does Little Angels she never gets involved all she does is views her desktop from another room and tells the parents what to do by headsets she doesn't show them how to address their kids like Jo does.

I need to submit an application for my neighbor to one of these shows. :roll: They might be a little too old and one of them might just have something rotten in her. It's hard to tell.

I love that show as well as Supernanny! I think the kids that behave badly are funny, except if the nannies are punishing someone with Asperger's.

That show is great. It really makes me appreciate how well behaved my kids are. People who let their kids behave like that have only themselves to blame.

I rememebr the time they spoofed it in South Park. They even ahd Jo Frost in it too. After scaring away both nannies, this one hunter comes along and teaches Mrs. cartman how to handle her boy and he treats him like a dog and then he does turn into a good kid but unfortunittly he has found a way to still get his way by his goodness. I just assumed it just by when the show showed his face so i knew it was telling us something and then it was the end of the espisode.

I've seen that episode, too. I don't care for Nanny 911 or Supernanny, or those shows, but the episode of South Park that spoofed them was a good one.

My mom has actually considered going on Nanny 911 with me. But the age cut-off is no older than seventeen and I'll be eighteen next month. Plus she'd have to take too much time off her work (it's all about her, as always.). And she also doesn't want people finding out exactly where we live or get glared at in the grocery store or something. I don't know. And for the record, no one on Nanny 911 has claimed to have Asperger's.

My favorite episode of Nanny 911 is one where a child insisted on only going to the bathroom outdoors.

Personally, I find Trading Spouses much more amusing.

I liked the episode with the kids who liked to talk about Poop saying, "Poop is the best! Poop is the best! Poop-a-kanga!"
