I watch this show Kittyab. I felt sorry for the oldest boy in the family. He didn't want to be such a bad boy, but couldn't see any other way to get attention from his mom. I don't think the mom ever admitted that she needed help. I wonder if the dad/stepfather will stick around?

I haven't seen any follow ups, Kittyab, but I think it would be an excellent idea.

Bidasea, I swear that mother was a sociapath. She will not see what she was doing is wrong and has good excuses for everything! I dont know how Stella was able not to kick her! Puzzled, sometimes Jo will come back a few weeks later and show how they are making out. I think she is seeing that some people do not make good parents at all!!!

Yes, Kittyab, it's so unfortunate that some people just won't even try to be good parents. As a friend of mine said, we try so hard to be good parents and still make mistakes, pity the kids whose parents don't even try.

Nanny 911 is also on the Lifetime channel if you miss the fox shows.

I was reading on the Nanny 911 web site there will be new episodes till summer! I hope they dont do the same to the Super Nanny. I was reading that they will be doing more of the Marriage 911 shows though.

Like last night's show. The parents were both nice and trying their best. They really wanted to make things better.

kitty, do you mean there will be "NO NEW" or "NEW" shows til summer? i didn't understand the "i hope they don't do the same to the Super Nanny". i like super nanny better because she seems to do real things such as the time-out area and getting the kids to stay in bed, etc. the other nanny show seems to wrap it up without showing us just how. with only 7 or 8 minutes left in a show, the households will still be wild. then, somehow, in the short time left, everything gets neatly organized and perfected. i love the expressions on all the nannies' faces from both shows, though, when a kid or parent does something really outrageous or destructive.

Tabby no new episodes till Summer, I dont see it on the schedule either till summer. So I am guessing no episodes till summer. But if you get the lifetime channel you can see the older shows there. I hope they dont that to Supernanny. I love my nanny shows! Fox is working on the spin off for Marriage 911. http://www.fox.com/marriage911/

Last night's poor father is so vague. I loved the game that Supernanny played with him trying to get him to respond quickly..."See and Say" she called it. LOL! Hope that he is able to maintain the ground he gained with his sons. His poor wife if he doesn't!

The two smaller boys were the worst I've ever seen. If the Nanny's advice works the Mom owes her big time! The older boy seemed like a good kid. What in the world happened with the younger two?

Hummingbird, the two little ones are close in age, both parents work. Probably too tired (and lazy) to correct the problem.

Maybe I saw a rerun the other night. There was a British family with 3 girls, ages 9,6,4. Their last name was Cooke, I think. This 9 year old had probably the worst behavior I've ever seen I think. I was astounded. It was a good show and the family seems like a loving family that will improve...well, they did improve. My husband made the point that maybe they won't show it in England, it may be too hard on the girls especially the 9 year old.

Is that the one where the girl kept "correcting" Nanny Deb on the pronunciation of "acceptable?"

Yes...what a cheeky girl. For some reason, this show made me think more than others. The family seems really nice and the oldest girl was way out of control and angry but she really seems to have a nice side too. Even though the mom sure did a lot of yelling, it didn't seem to me that she was mean or even sounded mean like some when they yell. She seemed just so frustrated, a lot like her daughter. I really laughed when the middle daughter was made to sit on the chair and her mom said she couldn't play with her friends and the girl says that's ok because "I hate my friends." Oh the expression on her face! Funny! (and of course she doesn't hate her friends, she was just trying her mom.)

It only ended up to be an hour, I must have read incorrectly. I also missed most of it due to the drama going on in my own home! Oh well!

I am glad that I didn't watch it, I didn't want to see a mother pushing kids around even thou maybe deserved some of it but not all, I bet she went right back to being that same Mom after Jo and the cameras left.

Happymom, the commercials here said 2 hour premiere. So, it wasn't us who got it wrong.

Anyone see Supernanny tonight? If so, did the dad have a job (beside being a dad?) Seemed like he stayed home and the kids had no daycare or nanny or anything. I wonder how he supported them. Maybe he got big alimony from the mom who was apparently gone.

I wondered that same thing. It didn't appear that he ever left the house. My son and I were cracking up at the float plane. You could drive from Anchorage airport to Eagle River faster than you could get that plane in the air and land it again.

I would think that too, except that (unless I missed it) Jo never mentioned anything about it. Like how no way can you work fulltime with 4 kids in the house. Cuz the kids would have to be neglected for 8 hours a day. And there were 2 kids who would not be in school fulltime... There was a past show with a family where the mom worked from home. She had all sorts of problems, cuz you just cannot work from home with little kids unless you have some sort of a nanny there to entertain/watch/care for the kids.

Julieboo, that could be where some of the problems came from. Dad worked and the kids just ran wild. For the show, they might not have wanted to concentrate on his working. The producers shape the show the way they want it, and him working may not have fit where they wanted the episode to go.

That just doesn't make sense. If that were a major problem, why wouldn't they show it?

Chilli, that's funny about the plane! I really enjoyed Monday's show. It was heartwarming. That poor dad, he seems like such a good guy and totally surprised by his divorce. He really just needed some parenting skills and a bit less shyness. He really seemed to try so hard for the kids. He seemed shy and socially introverted. Maybe the show helped. Having kids sometimes helps adults break the ice with other adults in a social way. I do think he only had one kid at home during school hours, I thought the older 3 got on the school bus. But I really don't remember. I thought maybe he did computer work from home too. Although, the show never mentioned his work. I wondered about that. I thought the son was funny about getting his own room back!
