"The Fairy Jobmother": A tough Mary Poppins for the unemployed

Let's just admit it: Problems are best solved by chubby British women.

They're clear-headed, no-nonsense tough love-types who will know that a few tips and some common sense are all Yankees need to get back on track.

My proof? "The Fairy Jobmother" (Lifetime, 11 tonight; 9 p.m. starting on Nov. 4), in which "international career specialist" Hayley Taylor comes in and help families struggling with unemployment.

The one-hour, eight-episode show is produced by the folks who bring us "Undercover Boss," (a nice counterpart, don't you think?), so it expect MOMENTS. You know tears, epiphanies, breakthroughs.
