The ABC version of the show also features Jo Frost as the professional nanny. But this time, the show is being narrated by Jeff Bartsch. On each of the episodes of the show, the nanny will typically observe how the parents handle the day-to-day problems that they are facing in managing their kids. The moment the professional nanny has noted the many pitfalls and issues in parenting, and then she works with parents. The nanny in turn will promote her tried and tested methods that can be used to transform the rowdy behavior of the children. The moment the techniques of the nanny worked for the household, then it is expected that the homemaker should do the handling of the kids alone with the help of the parenting techniques of the Supernanny. It is then the duty of the professional nanny to check out on the household and verify if the suggestions are indeed followed. The methods of the nanny focus much on consistency, communication and the use of reasonable consequences for unwanted behavior. Supernanny has been hailed positively by the New York Times labeling the show as fascinating and a required viewing. Even Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman threw praises in the show. Other publications also echoed these sentiments, like Newsweek and The New Yorker.
