anyone see this tonight? Some of these parents are crazy!!!! They also had on the "nutter" family. He is a ticket taker at the producers and has 7 kids who are all actors..they showed them going in for an audition and none of them wanted to be there nor should of been there. I'm sorry but, that little blond boy who sang "hot hot hot" makes william hung sound like ricky martin.

"that little blond boy who sang "hot hot hot" makes william hung sound like ricky martin."

LOL It's so funny that you said that because my Mother was watching with me and she said, "This boy makes William Hung sound good."

I think the Mom who's daughter is on "That's So Raven" seems pretty normal in comparison to the other parents. The 2 of them seem to have a great relationship, and the little girl really seems to enjoy what she's doing. It seems like the Mom is doing it for her daughter, and not for herself. It's kids like that who will make it in show business, because they really want to be there.

That Mom who has the 2 daughters, and the older one (Jordan) is the one in show business....man, that girl is a bitch! And her mom is such a push-over.

Those poor Nutters...thinking that Duncan (The Father/Husband) is straight. Is it just me, or does he have a twitch?

I won't even go near the beauty pageant discussion. I think those are just disgusting and should be illegal. That woman had her 4 year old daughter spray-tanned, the little girl had on more makeup than the entire cast of Chicago, and she wouldn't even allow the poor girl to go to the bathroom when she had to go.

*Just what I needed. Another damn reality show (sort of) to which I have become addicted. lol

I am assuming this will be moved to Off-Topic BUT I could NOT believe it.

I also saw that HBO doc. too before about beauty pageants. some parents are just out of their mind.

I did think the mom who's daughter was on just raven was very cool with her. She obviously enjoyed what she was doing yet let her play. Then again when the cameras are off it could be a WHOLE other story.

The mother who was sacrificing her life for her pardon my French b*itch daughter, is she insane??? Your not with your husband (whom you just married) your younger daughter is failing exams cause she is asking for help and you don't have the time to give it to her and your actually driving this girl around who is so unappreciative and disrespectful it is horrid.

The beauty pageant mother I can NOT even get into. when your daughter wants to play and you tell her we need to practice?? when she is clearly in front of a bunch of toys, and she is utilizing her imagination yet honey stop that and please spit out an unoriginally answer to something that is of no importance.

That little boys mother is coaching him?? YET she wants him to succeed, I have a feeling she is not a fan of wired hangers either...

the nutters....perfect name for the family.

can not wait until next week..haha

I think some parents should stop living through their children. It's pretty sad when they wanted to or didn't make it and now their children are their "special project". It's obsession, not love and support.

Oh man I watched this last night too and my roomate and I were sitting there in shock when they were showing the little girl getting a spray tan. I think that is so awful and she kept saying that it was all for her daughter to have fun and it was all for her but whenever the girl didn't want to do it all the mother told her was that she was being bad.

Oh and that girl Jordan..what a little bitch! If I was that girls mother I swear I would smack her not just put up with all the crap she says to her.

This was really disturbing but I know where I'll be when it's on next week

For anyone who missed it, check you local listings. Bravo tends to repeat things during the week.
That show actually repeated at 11pm last night (which is when I caught it because I didn't remember it was on until 9:50pm.)

I wonder if we could have a show produced called "Nutter Idol" and vote a family member off each week.isn't it illegal to have that many kids sleeping on the floors in a 2 bedroom apartment?

I think the mom of that 4 year old should be arrested. She should be told that her daughter was not produced in a Toys R Us factory nor does she come with a dream house..

I also think that Jordan out in LA should be happy she gets work..plenty of us here would do anything to be working and we would care to learn lines rather than eat taco bell and rent paperview. Updated On: 4/14/04 at 12:12 PM

Everything written here is so true.

By the way the nutters?? that is just cruelty. He should have just took off to NYC and sent money back to vermont. It is CLEARLY your dream not theirs. If I were that wife I would grow a set and be the man he isn't and take my kids back to Vermont.

According to Yahoo's TV schedule, the first episode is to be re-run on April 16th. I am in the Central time zone, it is 5:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. here. East Coast would be an hour later and I don't know about West Coast, if you get the same schedule or if it is delayed to match the East Coast schedule. Yahoo is usually pretty accurate. If you can find the first broadcast by going back a day, all of the repeat times will be listed.

hm...i have been inspired to listen to GYPSY.

ahh yes, to all those mothers out there:

"why did YOU do it?
what did it get YOU?
Scrapbooks full of YOU in the background"

just a little guilt from yours truly,
d.b.j

i wonder if the families will read this. no. but oh well.

Duncan Nutter might...that is if he didn't sell his childrens computer and use their college fund to buy some new headshots.

Posted: 4/14/04 at 4:13pm

It'll be on again on Friday.

Other than the black woman who is the casting agent, all of those parents are nuts!

I do think that the reason the black woman is screwed on so tightly is that she is IN the business, so she probably has seen and knows whne enough is enough and when it is being pushed upon the kid for the wrong reasons.

My favorite line from the show: "You're cute--but you ain't THAT cute."

[marincrazy11]

I totally agree with everything that has been said here. Especially about Duncan and the little blacks girl mom. She seemed to really be enjoying themselves and savoring their experiences.
