Nanny 911 is a reality television show in the United States, which originally aired on FOX (and airs in the UK on ITV2, whose sister company, Granada America, produces the show).
On February 27, 2008, FOX announced that it sold the rights to Nanny 911 (as well as its partnered FOX show, Trading Spouses) to CMT. The show has also had reruns on ABC Family in 2008 (where it no longer airs). New episodes of the series began airing on CMT in April 2009 until June 2009.
Nanny 911 is loosely based on the British television programme Little Angels, in which American families with unmanageable children are reformed by British nannies, including one who served for the royal family.
The introduction features montages of several clips of unruly children (and the nannies' surprised reactions), whereupon stock footage shows a "call" being made to Nanny 911 where "Head Nanny Lilian" (Lilian Sperling, featured as "Nanny to the British Royal Family") answers "Nanny 911" (on an old rotary dial phone).
After the intro the selected family is featured on a separate clip. Head Nanny Lilian and the other nannies – "Nanny Deb" (Deborah Carroll), "Nanny Stella" (Stella Reid), and "Nanny Yvonne" (originally Yvonne Shove, guest star Jo Frost would sub in, later replaced by Yvonne Finnerty for unspecified reasons) discuss the clip, whereupon Lilian announces (based on the major need; each nanny specializes in one area, such as proper etiquette or controlling temper tantrums) which nanny will visit the family. The nannies are featured visiting the family in traditional nanny dress (similar to that worn by Mary Poppins).
