"I have decided to hang up my cape," says Jo Frost, as she seeks work-home balance.

TV is no longer ‘asseptable’ to Jo Frost, SuperNanny.
The British nanny turned TV host will make her 6th season her last.
“I have decided to hang up my cape,” she told The NY Post. “It was a very conscious decision, through much reflection. But I need to create more balance in my life.”
The 39-year-old has been living out of a suitcase since she began in 2004 traveling in Britain and America, defusing temper tantrums.
Though she’s now worth tens of millions (the show has spin-offs in 47 countries), Frost hasn’t found time to buy a home of her own. She still bunks with her dad during trips home to the UK, she says sheepishly.
Having children “is not an option when you are traveling and working 46 weeks out of the year,” says Frost, who is single and currently without a boyfriend.
“Proper balance will allow me to date and have a relationship and look at my own future of having a family.”
“I will certainly not be giving up what my public service is to America and the world,” she insists. Frost is developing several new TV projects and says there is “much interest” in bringing her current UK series, Extreme Parental Guidance, to the US.
When The SuperNanny aired in primetime on Nine several years ago it was a ratings supremo.

Jo can send me to the naughty chair whenever she wants. I’ve been a bad boy.
I remember when GO was announced, Nine said they would be airing SuperNanny.
So where is it?
If Nine still has the rights to SuperNanny then they should play it on GEM.
