They Need Supernanny!

Three years ago, Supernanny debuted on ABC. Jo Frost, a glorified baby-sitter whose qualifications included a proper British accent, proposed actual child-rearing techniques – i.e., alternatives to upping the Ritalin dose — for parents with behavior-challenged kids. Not shockingly, their kids fell in line. The network has since launched Frost books, a self-help Web site (suppernanny.com) and a toll-free hotline to apply for on-air help (877-NANNYTIME).

Supernanny’s only weakness? She needs a constant flow of families with built-in television drama. Thus, the first casting call for next season, from 6 to 8 p.m. today at Crown Center.

We’re not surprised that Kansas City’s the first stop on this recruiting tour.
