THE SCHUMACHER KIDS HAVE IT ALL, BUT THEIR PARENTS HAVE JUST HAD IT!
CAN "SUPERNANNY" HELP? FIND OUT WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9 ON ABC

"Schumacher Family" -- Meet the Schumachers, the ultimate 21st
century American family -- hard-working parents who strive to give
their beautiful children everything--everything, that is, except
boundaries, responsibilities and goals.

So, instead of gratitude, the kids have attitude, in abundance. The
oldest, Jessica (14), belittles her parents for not giving her more
expensive things and having a bigger home (their house is quite
sizable, but she calls it "a dump"); Alexi (11) is constantly online
with a social networking site, pretending to be older and chatting
with strangers. Dylan (7) is bored, so he amuses himself by cursing,
obscene gestures, hitting, spitting, kicking and punching.

Parents Teri and Brian can't understand why their kids treat them
like servants and complain so much. It's a common dynamic, uncommonly
extreme, and Jo Frost has a wake-up call for the clueless, but well-
meaning parents on "Supernanny," WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9 (9:00-10:00
p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Nick Powell is the creator and executive producer of both the
American and British versions of the show. Nick Emmerson and Holly
Wofford are executive producers of the American version. "Supernanny"
is produced by Ricochet, Ltd.

"Supernanny" is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed
captioning. A TV parental guideline will be posted closer to airdate.
