Jo Frost, Host of Super
Nanny
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 unruly 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
territories, almost all of them with Frost as Supernanny.
The series was nominated for a People's Choice Award, and
her book,
Supernanny: How to Get the Best from Your
Children
spent 17 weeks on on the
New York Times
bestseller list, hitting #1 for much of that time.

Erlanger
- Tucked
away along this town's southern border, Ridgewood Drive is
normally a quiet, ordinary residential street. That's why a
motor home parked here for the past week with cables
running from it and people going in and out has the
neighbors talking. The RV is being used by a Los Angeles
television crew, here to tape an episode of the reality
show "Supernanny" (8 p.m. Monday, Channels 9,
22).
In the
show, English "Supernanny" Jo Frost reviews tapes of a
family's day-to-day life, then works with parents on how to
deal with their children's unruly behavior. After the
family tries her methods for a few days, Frost revisits
them to see how well her ideas are working. The family
being taped lives in a two-story home at the north end of
the street. Lisa Christy, coordinator for this episode,
said the family was unavailable for interviews. She also
said she could not answer any questions about the
production. Neighbor Julia Phillips, who watches the show
regularly, said it's been exciting for her family to have
the crew here. "My daughter wrote 'Supernanny Rocks' in the
driveway, and the supernanny came over and had her picture
taken with her," said Phillips. "I think it's pretty neat
that they picked our neighborhood." The RV is parked in
front of the home of Jason Glover, who lives two doors down
from the family being taped. In a neighborhood where many
residents park their cars on the street, Glover said the
only inconvenience has been that the RV takes up three
spots. "Other than that, it hasn't been bad," said Glover.
"The people with the show have been super nice."
The
broadcast of the episode will be this spring.
