They appeared on "Supernanny" in 2005, hoping that Supernanny Jo Frost would help them figure out how to handle their five boys. All under 11 (yikes). And she did! For 60 minutes of television, that is. So did it work long-term? Did it help? Not if setting fire to the house is any indication. By a three-year-old.   Read More...
