It's unpleasant watching these children misbehave and the discipline needs improvement.

To the person who posted before me, are we talking about the same show? You sure you don;t have your nanny shows confused? Jo Frost is the best nanny in the whole world! The show is NOIT a job for her, it is NOT! WATCH the show, she loves the kids, she DOES play with them and hugs and kisses them! With the exception of Deb., I don't see ANY of the Nanny 911 nannies doing that! The Nanny 911 nannies are cold and stick it to the parents but I do NOT see them interact too much with the kids. In fact, they have these dumb uniforms that almost makes it impossible! Jo always plays with them, she is ALWAYS there for them! She ADORES them,. I don't see where you get she doesn't.

The show displays the steps right on the bottom of the screen, where as Nanny 911 you have to listen or you'll miss it. Supernanny is MUCH more useful and educational! Believe me, SUPERNANNY is better cause JO loves the kids more and that's the truth. Nannying is not a job for her, it's play for her! Supernanny is better!!!

she helped a family of six that was being ran by a four year old. the mother was completely rude to the older kids, the nanny, and her husband. I was so upset that the nanny did not tell her that her attitude was awful and she should try and see that the problems are 50 50 in a marriage. If i was the nanny i would not have taken that stuff from her, and if i was the husband i would leave that women. She thinks she does nothing wrong and that she is a hero for raising 4 kids on her own when her husband is at work.Grow up most moms are raising there kids while the dad works. If nanny doesn't make the parents see that there attitudes effect the kids then there is no reason that she should be on TV.

Just saw an advert where Jo and a family let a load of balloons go. Does she not know that when these balloons drop they tangle or even kill wildlife.These balloons have been killing wildlife and farm animals for a long time. KEEP YOUR BALLOONS GROUNDED 😱😱😱

Shame on the producers for making this show, for exploiting the children in it that need real help and their parents. Shame on this idiot of a woman who is so full of it and clearly has no idea what she is talking about. I am so glad this is gone and done with but don't support the reruns. This show never should have happened. All staged, all set up, exploiting families for a buck.

I don't know how anyone who has watched this show could possibly say that Jo Frost Is Fake??? She is an experienced nanny who has worked alongside and with children for many years. Jo Frost' approach is fantastic and she always gets results, without including any intimidating tactics or fear.! The programme 'Nanny 911' has a totally different technical approach and does not involve the childrens emotions or embraces them physically? The two shows are completely different. 'Jo Frost' Is hands-on and her ability to connect with both parents and children are superb! Imagine yourselves in those situations from each episode, and state that again that Jo Frost hasn't worked miracles with each family; especially when there are different ages between the kids eg: Teenagers and toddlers alike...whow...It is hard...😑 Families that are brought together through different marriages are sometimes difficult in the least to get along with each other. If there was a 'Jo Frost' available to help you, would you not jump to it and take her help? I know I would...She truly is a 'God Send' Stop being so Negative towards her, and allow her to continue what she does best!!! Keep doin' what you're doin' Jo' Good on you!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😑😊😑😊😊

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.

Wow, talk about headache-inducing! I remember when this used to come on TV, and even as a teenager, I thought it was extremely annoying. I've always found small children to be a pain in the neck. So many of them are whiny and obnoxious. I understand they lack emotional regulation, but listening to anybody have a meltdown just because they didn't get their way, no matter how old they are, is enough to make you lose your patience. I worked in a library where toddlers constantly had tantrums. It was so bad to the point that I would see patrons arrive with their laptop, and then leave after twenty minutes or a half an hour, probably because they couldn't focus on whatever they were doing. I'm guessing people think their kids screaming and rolling around on the floor is a normal part of their development. Well, I thought it was unacceptable. Acting out in public is a result of poor child rearing. There's a surplus of lazy people reproducing, and the rest of society is having to pay the price. As if it's bad enough to have your restaurant or movie theater experience ruined by some bratty kid, it was some genius's idea to put them on TV, and make it into the style of a docu series. In Supernanny, a British woman named Jo Frost - who, going off of her bio, has zero education in child psychology or family studies - visits the homes of American parents who have little ones that are absolutely out of control. After doing an observation, she offers the parents and children guidance, thus improving the kids' behavior, and creating a more harmonious atmosphere. Okay, I suppose since she didn't examine children from an academic perspective, she takes more of a common sense approach. Eh, I can see how that's fair. Then again, if a person is giving me advice on how to raise my kids, I want them to have some credentials after their name. I would appreciate Jo's feedback, because she started out as a nanny at 18, and that is admirable, but just to be on the safe side, I would still ask for a second opinion from someone who's more qualified. After finding out she doesn't have a degree in anything child related (she didn't even go to college, for that matter), and doesn't have kids of her own, but yet she's such an expert on children, makes me think Supernanny was staged.

Which brings me to my next point: I don't even know why I bother with reality shows. They're all just manufactured drama. Supernanny is no different, as it's filled with tons of yelling, shouting, crying, and trivial fights. Makes you wonder why parents agree to be featured on this show. I wouldn't want the whole world to know my house was dysfunctional. These kids have no routine. Their meal times are sporadic... They go to bed whenever they want, eat whatever they want. They never sit down to do any kind of activities, like crafts or music. Sometimes the parents are a-holes themselves, so it's not surprising why the kids behave like gremlins. I watched an episode where a professional basketball player argued with Jo in front of his wife and kids. It was unbelievable this man had the gall to be so rude and defensive when his four daughters were running around a large property that had an unsecured pool, and his wife was about to go insane from multitasking. She was in charge of a business, so she had to juggle being on the phone, while also trying to watch their kids. That was proof reality shows have no purpose, besides watching people embarrass themselves. Quite honestly, I feel strange having a glimpse into someone's living space. Your home is your private sanctuary. Whether or not their environment is filled with conflict, it's still weird to watch people's day to day life. I'm surprised Supernanny managed to stay on for as long as it did. It doesn't teach or enlighten the audience. The only thing it'll have you doing is reaching for a bottle of aspirins. Just like everything else that's been on ABC for the last couple of decades, it's a stupid and over the top negative show.

Absolutely garbage! The lady is just good awful and very unfortunate to even look at let alone listen to! Just another example of the televised trash that society just eats up! Insane that shows like this are even allowed to air. But also dosn't surprise me beings society is hopeless! Human race is a parasite! Honestly, shocked that we've even made it this far in life! We've come to a point that its junk like this that people find entertaining. This is the reason why we as a race will never evolve! I've lost all hope in humanity! Nothing will ever change it'll only get worse from here on out!!

Helpful for children to realize how they are acting and you can see that jo is the supernanny!

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!

Frost helps those who cant help their kids on their own. Yes, it's great wonders every time, and yes it's tv pilished, but hey - she's helping, I'm sure.

I used to nanny for multiple families and would've loved the tips that Jo gives on this show! For those that have written negative reviews, are they watching the same show as I am? Yes, the kids are out of control in the beginning and that is why Jo is called upon to help bring order in the home. She doesn't do anything abusive and loves on the parents and the children. She's there to first observe, and then give feedback after.

There truly are families out there that allow their kids to run all over them and this show is not exaggerating that. I don't feel like Jo is insincere at all! It doesn't seem staged, and I think she gives many fantastic techniques to utilize to help families to better understand their own kids and implement rules that are effective. I don't like to write reviews too often, but I really felt this show needed another positive one.

Shows reasonable disciplinary actions, helps kids and parents with bringing up the issues within the household. The people giving low ratings ... y'all are what's wrong with the society of kids today . No discipline letting kids run wild. Without discipline and some kind of structure kids grow up to be non-functioning adults in society and just cause issues all around. Not once were the kids abused by Jo's way of discipline or structure , however I do believe before she stepped in quite a few families were on the verge of mental or physical abuse. Was the show a bit scripted yes of course , what reality show isn't. But it is also informative.

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 :D

I hope this is a comment one of you can answer because I have always wondered why it hasn't come back up on TV

I would love to know because I really like that show :D

I was thrilled to notice a new season made. I watched all the shows when they were airing in the 2000s and I got so much out of them that I used in raising my kids!!

I've often wondered how "super nanny" would address the modern family issues. (Increased mental health diagnosis, the internet and digital devices etc.) Her approach makes sense and has remained consistent after all these years. ("Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don't sound mean when you're saying it"...."sprinkle the praise"...."redirect"....plus more) I HIGHLY recommend parents watch how she works with these families.
