Super Nanny
Next to Desperate Housewives, Super Nanny (otherwise known as Desperate Parents) has become my fave show. The kids behave so atrociously that Frost, the nanny, is left shaking her head, widening her eyes, and gasping in disgust and horror during the observation period. Then, she whips those kids and their parents into shape. I mean INTO SHAPE!! The last two shows have mainly been about helping the parents regain control--teaching them how to be the boss, so to speak. Personally, I think the world of parents has become hopelessly infected with the mamby-pamby gene. But Jo Frost has just the gene therapy they need. I love seeing those kids and the family transform before my eyes. Incredible stuff. Of course I pitched this show to my publicists for the last three years, but they didn't bite, dammit. I guess it takes a british accent. Jolly good, what? Oh buggers.
