Supernanny: Minyon Family Season Premiere 9/23
"Minyon Family"
Young Skyler, three, rules the roost in the Minyon house, but now she's met her match on the season premiere of "Supernanny," Friday, September 23 (8:00-9:00 PM) on ABC.
Frank and Danielle Minyon are a young, beautiful couple. Frank works full-time as a medical software engineer and Danielle is a homemaker. They have two children, Frank, 7, and unruly Skyler, 3, who rules the roost with massive tantrums that ensure she always gets her way. Danielle had to quit her job to take care of Skyler when daycare refused to take her back. Danielle's grandma, Gigi, also lives with them, but she's taken to hiding in her room to avoid her great-granddaughter's screaming. Mom struggles to get the children up in the morning, as young Frank won't even dress himself and Skyler refuses to get out of bed. By 8:00 a.m., Danielle's drained but has to spend the rest of her day chasing Skyler, who's liable to explode at any second, taking advantage of Mom's inconsistent discipline. When little Frank gets home from school, it's straight to the videogames for him; since the focus is always on Skyler, he feels left out. By the time Dad gets home, an exhausted Danielle needs help, but Dad refuses to discipline his "little princess" when she acts out, and is harsh with his sensitive son. It's up to Jo to bring some discipline, structure and laughter back into this house. Can she do it?
Hailed by the New York Times as "fascinating" and "required viewing;" praised by Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman and Kelly Ripa; acclaimed by such publications as Newsweek, Hollywood Reporter and The New Yorker; and lauded by parents and nannies across America, "Supernanny" is a hit. Jo Frost, as Supernanny, can tame the wildest toddler, soothe the savage six-year-old and get the most difficult child to overcome problems with behavior, sleep, mealtime, potty training and other challenges that have vexed parents around the world for centuries. After just three episodes of the show aired in the U.K. in summer 2004, Jo Frost became Britain's hottest new TV star and godsend to desperate parents who were dazzled by her amazing results with misbehaving children. She debuted in America in early 2005 and captivated Americans as well with her practical, no-nonsense style, honed over 16 years of nannying. "Supernanny" is now an international phenomenon; it airs in 47 countries, almost all of them with Frost as Supernanny. Her book, Supernanny: How to Get the Best from Your Children, was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller.
On the show, Jo observes how the parents handle their day-to-day obstacles with their children. Once she's assessed the pitfalls, she works with the parents, instilling her tried-and-true methods for transforming unwanted behavior. Then, after demonstrating just how well the new style will work and getting unbelievable results from the children, the parents must fly solo with the Supernanny techniques. For several days they try to implement Jo's suggestions, and she revisits them at the end of the program to help keep them on track for the future. When parents witness Jo's results and -- even better -- achieve them on their own, they are truly believers in the Supernanny way. Best of all, children and adults alike can enjoy the lasting benefits of a more harmonious family life.
Nick Powell is the creator and executive producer of both the American and British versions of the show. Craig Armstrong is executive producer of the American version. "Supernanny" is produced by Ricochet, Ltd. This program carries a TV-PG,L parental guideline.
