Nanny 911 is a reality television show in the United States, which airs on FOX (and airs in the UK on ITV2, whose sister company, Granada America, produce the show). It is loosely based on the British television programme Little Angels, in which American families with unmanageable children are reformed by ex-pat British nannies, including one who served for the British Royal Family.
Each nanny specialises in one area, ranging from proper etiquette to controlling temper tantrums. Each nanny attempts to help unruly families get into working order. They are usually very successful. The nannies are Nanny Deb, Nanny Stella, Nanny Yvonne, and Head Nanny Lilian.
The families that are eligible for the show are usually large families with a minimum of 5 children. The parents usually have an income that allows them to be upper middle-class.
In April 2005, a potential spinoff for the show was aired as a "special" episode of Nanny 911 entitled Marriage 911, framed as though Chris and Laura King's marriage problems had proved too much for Nanny Stella and a marriage counsellor needed to be brought in. A series never materialised.
Nanny 911 has started production again Summer 2006 and premiered on September 8, 2006. It was spoofed on South Park along with arch-rival Supernanny.

[edit] Parodies
In a parody in the South Park episode "Tsst," Cartman drives away a nanny sent by the show to control him, telling her the only reason why she's a nanny is because no one wanted to marry her because she's ugly and her uterus started to degenerate. Head Nanny Lilian was depicted as a Skeksis from Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal.
In The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Mandy's parents call a nanny in order to control her and so they can regain their lives. Grim makes a comment that "this is similar to a stupid reality show called "Hey Nanny Nanny" with some British-speaking nanny that everyone likes for some reason."
