American Idol vs. Super Nanny






As I think about the many realtity shows that have taken over the airways I wonder to myself what happened to the days of Thursday night television when every show competed with Dr. Huxtable and that cute little boy Peter from next door. Of course the competing programs were such things as Small Wonder and Punky Brewster.








But the point still is that most families would sit down together and watch these programs in the hope that they to might have a robot sister some day.

Tonight as I watched American Idol I struggled to decide if I would watch American Idol or The Super Nanny. She looks an awful lot like little Vicki from the days of Wonder and her name is Jo. The connections may seem slim but Vicki Jo is a pretty common name. I also consider the fact that robots are becoming more high tec everyday.



Vicki also kept her TV family in check and that is the purpose of the Super Nanny. Now the robot is effecting families all over the world. You be the judge but I think the connections are uncanny!




Why do I bring this connection to your attention? I think it brings up the point that TV does not change all that much. The top show on TV right now is American Idol and why because of singing. The top show in the 80's of course was the Cosby Show and why? Because of singing. I am not one to consider urban legend but don't you think Ryan Seacrest
looks like Peter after a large weight loss. You be the judge!

Laura, you are on to a MAJOR conspiracy here! I can't believe it, but I KNOW you are right!

We got together with some friends last weekend and we were talking about Small Wonder! I know Cole for one would love a robot sister!

Ryan Seacrest is hot, and he is not a Peter!

I didn't know you had a blog, how did I miss this?? Let's be honest, I probably knew it somewhere in my head. Well, welcome to blogs.

What in the heck? I'm going to have to watch Super Nanny now if Vicki has really made a comeback. Does she still have the monotone voice and the ability to move her head 360 degrees?

That's Peter's picture from the "Dentist" episode! (that was my favorite)

I think you may be right, Ryan Seacrest looks an awful lot like Peter. They should have Bill Cosby on American Idol, have him settle this once and for all!!
