    Like too many reality shows, The Fairy Jobmother offers easy, incomplete answers and sometimes doesn't ask the right questions.

    The Fairy Jobmother, adapted from a British show of the same name, follows the model of Supernanny--that child-rearing-rehab spectacular--with a diligent slavishness.

    Watching someone explain the obvious may not create electrifying television, but once in a while, it's okay for TV to be more valuable than fun. Like when it comes to how you find a job.

    I think the premise of this show is fun, but I couldn't make it through the one episode I tried to watch. The featured family was freeloading on his parents for something like TWO YEARS and they were not likable at all. The father was a complete wimp and the mother seemed more annoyed by the experience than grateful. I found myself not caring at all if they got jobs (except for the fact that they might eventually move out of the poor parents home). I rated this show a 2 only because Haley Taylor is kind of cute, but the show producers need to do a better job at picking the families. I recorded a few episodes, but ended up deleting the rest without watching. I doubt if this one will see a Season 2.… Expand
