Nanny 911... does it ever not work?

Do you think there have been episodes that didn’t get aired because the Nanny wasn’t able to get anywhere with the family?

Also… am I the only one who sometimes watches this show and thinks… my god… I’d put those horrible kids up for adoption… (Horrible, I know. And I know a lot off the kids are bad because of bad parenting… but man, some of those kids SUCK!)

my brother worked as a PA for one of these episodes. It turned out that the children’s dad in that episode liked to hit them, and because of that, the episode never aired. I’d imagine that in other situations, like where the nannying doesn’t work, those episodes get canned too.

Yikes…

I have wondered about some of the episodes, if there wasn’t some abuse going on when the cameras weren’t there. Some of those parents are just too out of control on the anger thing.

I think a big part of Nanny’s success is that she’s an authoritative stranger, emphasis on stranger.

They need to do follow-ups, a year later, see if the families kept up the regimen and whether it worked. Same with the Dog Whisperer. :slight_smile:

Yes, I’ve wanted to see that too. I mean, some of those families and kids! I understand that a LOT of footage is shot, and anyone can be made to look good or bad.

I’m curious and I wonder why we haven’t heard more about it.

Nanny 911 was no match for Eric Cartman.
