Parents need to know
Families can talk about what makes the Bratz appealing at first glance, and what's not so appealing about them. Are they individualistic, or do they look and talk alike? Do they look and act like most teens? Why are there hardly any references to parents? Is the way they live realistic? Do you think they can afford to stay in a loft by themselves, or jet off to London at a moment's notice? What can be learned from their friendships?
Message
Social Behavior:
For a show aimed at kids, there's a lot of back-stabbing and rude behavior. Burdine Maxwell ridicules Jade and the Tweevils, who try to steal Chloe's new guy (who seems happy to be flirting with them). The Bratz sneak into a club, lying their way in. Chloe dumps her friends for a boy.
Consumerism:
Based on the popular dolls. Characters are big into consumerism (buying outfits, shoes, etc.). Ads for Bratz CDs and movies in Special Features area of the DVD.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Violence
One male character shoves a bouncer to get into a club; another gets jealous and imagines his romantic competitor's head exploding. Lots of bossing around on the part of Burdine Maxwell, the magazine editor.
Sex
Chloe flirts with a British boy who later turns out to be rude. Another boy falls on top of Chloe by accident and brings up love.
Language
Lots of slang -- "super scorchin' guy," "whatever" -- and words like "lame-o," "loser," "moron," and "jerk."

Is it any good?
Two positive notes: The music is hummable and, through thick and thin, the girls find their way to each other. When they neglect their friendships, they are eventually apologetic. Soleil Moon Frye, who played the scrappy, cheery, wholesome Punky Brewster in a TV series decades ago, voices one of the Bratz. Too bad this series isn't as positive a role model as her 1980s alter-ego was.
