I'm not familiar with Supernanny, so I don't know if it's a sitcom or a reality TV show, or what...but does Wendy really have 4 sons!?!?!?!?  Shocked

I think it's a reality show.

What's so weird about having four children?

"... As the daughter of Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, she was raised in a household where the children had few boundaries, and is often a pushover with her rambunctious toddlers, Leo, 4 and Beau, 3. Husband Dan, a former rock singer, was raised just the opposite way, with clear-cut rules and a strict schedule. Having had twins Willem and Jesse just six weeks prior to filming, Wendy and Dan are exhausted, overextended, and realize that their current parenting style won't work. ..."

Alright, I guess I'll just have to come out and say it, reality shows stink. I really don't care who's on a show. I hope Wendy gets help with watching her kids, but why make an entire tv series out of it? I can't believe people want to pollute their brains with "celebreality" crap. I"m looking forward to shows getting their writers back (but only if the writers get a fair deal from the producers/networks, if not, then they should keep striking).

Well, I believe "Supernanny" features a new family every week, so Wendy's "storyline" should only last one episode. Otherwise, I agree with everything you said.

Wendy must be trying to catch up with Carnie.  Carnie has been on more reality tv shows than you can shake a stick at.  She's currently on "Gone Country" on CMT, trying to become a country star along with Maureen McCormick (Brady Bunch) , Dee Snyder, Bobby Brown, and others.

Nothing's weird about it, but I could have sworn she just had her first child a couple of years ago!  Guess it's been longer...

She was also on "Celebrity Fit Club" last year...I usually don't watch these shows but if Carnie is on I am more inclined to watch for some reason.

I think Wendy's four have been born within a four year (or less) span.  That's why it seems so remarkable.  She went from none to four in a very small span of time.  That would be a little taxing for any family.  It  might be interesting to see how Supernanny can help.  Most of those kids aren't even old enough to be reasoned with yet (the twins, in particular, they're just babies).

I am not a fan of reality shows. But I might check this one out. If only because I know hardly anything about Wendy. I think it would be interesting for one or two episodes just to see what she is like.

Let me precede this at first by saying I have nothing against Wendy, and I can't possibly know what it was like to grow up  in that house... but I found it a little offsetting that she nor anybody else mentioned one time that Brian Wilson has severe mental disorders that have made him incapable of functioning as a responsible adult.  Everytime they mentioned what a bad father he was, she just said he was absent.  She alluded a few times to a feeling that he gave more to the music than he gave to her, and while that may be true I think it's fair to say that after his illness set in he wasn't very good to the music either. 

I just think it would have been a little more fair to give Brian a small bit of mercy and mention that the man is sick and not just a jackass who didn't raise his kids right.

I felt the same way...  plus: what about Marilyn?  Doesn't she deserve any 'blame'?  That said, maybe Wendy did mention Brian's condition in detail, but the show's producers/editors didn't include it...?

You know, actually you may be right.  I should have thought of that... they may have edited out any explanation she gave.  Plus I've still got to be fair and say again that she's entitled to whatever opinion she has, and I won't pretend to know any better than her.

Still kind of messed up when they do a hit-piece on him about 5 or 6 times then show Wendy saying she's moved on and doesn't dwell on it.  what?

She doesn't dwell on her childhood, but when the producers ask why she's such a pushover with her kids...well, that's the answer. She has always struck me as a nice person but very passive.

I also was annoyed that she made it sound like Brian was just a jerk, a deadbeat dad... but it's true that she might have mentioned drugs, and maybe ABC felt it wasn't appropriate for a family show, so they just left in that he was "absent" and "incapable of being there," or whatever she said. Marilyn was hardly mentioned, but I guess she was pretty easygoing with her kids. They seem to have turned out okay, all things considered.

Was I the only one surprised that Wendy didn't have a nanny of her own, even just to help out part-time?

Yeah I agree, Brian really didn't come off too well here.  Some reference to mental problems might have at least provided a better explanation.  To the casual viewer, he probably came off exactly like you said: a deadbeat jerk of a father. 

Maybe there's still some resentment there for Wendy, who knows.  I just think it would have been more accurate to say that he had mental and drug problems and was afraid he wouldn't be a good father, so he left the parenting to Marilyn because he thought they would be better off that way.  It was only a small part of the show so like others have said, maybe she elaborated on it but those parts were edited out.

Didn't Wendy mention in one of the docus, I think in "I Just Wasn't Made", that she still has bitter feelings against her dad? We can only speculate about Brian the father, but with all the little anecdotes they decided to make public, I don't wanna know what else happend in that household. And IMO, mental disorder is not an excuse for everything.

Yeah, but it should be between Wendy and Carnie and Brian.  What I don't like is the way Carnie, and now Wendy, have used their father's name to gain publicity, including dragging his name through the mud.  I'm not sure Wendy would have gotten a spot on "Supernanny" without featuring Brian, former Beach Boy,  as part of the story line.  Wilson Phillips is yesterday's news, and they used the show tonight to promote an upcoming tour.  It really kind of sucks.  And yes, if Brian was a co-dependent, then Marilyn was an enabler.  A lot of kids are raised by single moms, and they don't let their kids get away with everything (which is how Wendy portrayed her upbringing, as very lax).
