People who watch the ABC reality child rearing show Supernanny have probably always wondered what it would be like if the nanny had testicles. This fall you're going to get a chance to see.The network is going to film an episode of Supernanny that will feature a man in the nanny role. The episode will serve as the pilot for a new series titled Supermanny, which I think they should check to see if it's already a trademark of baseball star Manny Ramirez. Therapist Mike Ruggles will be the man(ny).
The show's producer says that having a man in the nanny role will be interesting because "with a man, he can connect with dads in a different way." He then added "and if we can get the two guys to actually get into a fist fight, that will be great for ratings." OK, I made up that last part, but if that did happen you know it will be heavily promoted.
Here's an idea for ABC: they could air a male version of The Bachelorette and call it ... The Bachelor!
