Kevin Frazier Meets The 'Supernanny'
October 21, 2005
When "Supernanny" JO FROST hit the U.S. shores, no one knew who she was, except for the executives at ABC, who were importing her British show, but giving it a bit of an American twist. Now Jo can't walk down the street without people stopping her to say "well done" or "you rock." Even OPRAH WINFREY, KELLY RIPA and DAVID LETTERMAN have sung her praises.
If you've never seen "Supernanny," airing Fridays at 8 p.m., then you've missed watch Jo in action as she tames the wildest toddlers, soothes the six-year-olds and gets the parents to do what must be done to get their children to behave!
"Being able to discipline seems to be a major issue for a lot of parents," Jo tells ET's KEVIN FRAZIER, as they took a ride in her now-trademark black cab. "How do they get their children to listen to them? How do they get their children to respect them? This program is informative. It gives step-by-step guides of how to get from A to B, and be able to resolve major issues that families see."
On tonight's episode, Jo takes on the Amaral Family. MICHAEL and LORRAINE are restaurateurs, who work seven days a week, leaving them little time to spend with their three sons, RYAN, 9, LOGAN, 4, and KADE, 2, except at the restaurant, where the boys run wild.
Jo, who has been a nanny for 15 years, says she loves helping families, and these boys are no exception. In fact, she believes there isn't a child she can't help whip into shape "unless there is a child who has special needs or needs more expertise help in another profession."
This season "Supernanny" is going to be different because they are going to be dealing with families that have special-needs children and families that have older children.
"There is going to be a little more resistance, which I have already encountered," Jo admits. "We are going to be taking a more in-depth look at these families. We are going underneath the microscope. We are looking at the layers that make the dynamic."
