Release


Sia announced the release of the TV Is My Parent on 9 March 2009,[9] and released its trailer on 23 April.[10] The DVD was released in Europe on 18 May 2009, in the United States the following day,[11] and in Australia on 13 June.[12] In 2012, some online music stores offered the DVD as a bonus with the purchase of her greatest hits album Best Of....[13][14]


Reception


Writing for website The Digital Fix, Luke McNaney described the DVD as "above average" and praised both Sia and the directors for the "peculiar and worthwhile visions" included in it.[7] The Dwarf's Daniel Townsend wrote that the show delivers a "healthy dose of all things Sia".[5] Thom Holmes of Contactmusic.com expressed his opinion that fans of Sia would "love" TV Is My Parent, though he struggled to understand why, and that watching the DVD was "laborious".[15] Lindsay Zoladz mentioned in her Vulture review of Sia's 2016 album, This Is Acting, that the DVD shows Sia as a "bubbly and loquacious" person who is "twitchy but comfortable in her skin".[16]

TV Is My Parent earned Sia the 2009 ARIA Music Award for Best Music DVD.[17] Sia stated: "I so didn't expect to win."[18]
