The show offers a wealth of good information for parents — any parent with young children will benefit from just watching and putting Jo's ideas to use.
Finally, Jo checks back on the family to see how things are going and stays to help if the parents are struggling with the new way of doing things.
Jo does more than offer up suggestions for dealing with unruly children — in one episode the family had an autistic child, and Jo brought with her a doctor who specialized in autism, and they all worked hard with the child, and the results were very moving, as they were able to help the child to start verbalizing - a problem with autistic children as they have difficulty communicating. We – the audience - cheered along with the family when the child uttered his first words.
Supernanny is an enjoyable, positive show with an engaging host. Highly recommended to any family with children.

I'm glad that this show isn't as manipulative and awful as the promos, filled with screaming and out of control children, suggest it could be. I was thinking it might be more in the mold of 'Trading Spouses' or something.

A good review of a valid use of the airwaves. This program should be mandatory for young parents. Society has everything to gain!
Good job, Scott.
