Well, I’m not sure what to make of this. I received this email earlier in the month and I’m passing it along here for your perusal. It is an invitation from a casting person for the show Supernanny. Now I’ll say right here that I have watched, and benefited from watching Supernanny. I think she is awesome. But lets face it, it is no secret that they find parents who are doing a “less than stellar” job so Supernanny can work her magic. It makes for the best “Before and After” shots for the television program. I understand that. But this email specifically solicits SINGLE DADS.

I think I see the angle....”Oh those poor helpless single dads. They let their kids sit in front of the T.V. all day. They cook them frozen dinners. They’re too busy on their cell phones to help them at the playground. Good thing Supernanny arrives just in time to save the day.”

Maybe that is the angle. Or maybe that is just my paranoia kicking in, I don’t know. At any rate, if any of you single dads are interested in being on the show, shoot me an email and I will pass on the contact info.

Did any of you other single parent bloggers get this email? Was it spit out from a form mailer?

Here is the email I received...

Jim,
I am contacting you from the casting department of the show “Supernanny” on ABC. We are currently casting for Season 5, and I thought some of your readers (other single dads) might be interested in applying for the show.
We are sending a casting producer to your area soon to meet with families, so we are trying to spread the word now for people to apply. I’d love to send you more information and give you more details, so please don’t hesitate to contact me using the contact info below.
Thanks,
Candra Nazzaro
