Why We Rated This on for Ages 12 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some stereotyping/generalizations about intelligence. Some (rare) objectification of women. The usual game-show greed.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Brief, occasional looks at women dressed in revealing clothing. Some spoken sexual innuendo.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Frequent promotion of Deal or No Deal, another game show on NBC. Mention of other media titles like American Idol and Seabiscut in trivia questions/answers.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About 1 vs 100

Parents need to know that this entertaining, trivia-based game show is generally innocuous but occasionally contains some implied sexism and stereotypes. In at least one episode, a scantily clad woman receives leering attention from host Bob Saget and a male contestant. Also, Saget sometimes implies that certain members of the 100-person "mob" are smarter or dumber based on their avocation (teacher, waitress, surfer, etc.).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about game strategy and answers to questions that surprise them. Also, if parents or kids see examples of stereotyping, they can point them out and talk about where these generalizations originate. For example, if Saget describes one group as "members of MENSA" and another as "waitresses," what is he saying about waitresses' intelligence -- and perhaps women's intelligence in general? Families can also talk about the differences between what moms and dads know and what their kids know, especially when it comes to pop culture. And, for fun, what would you do if you won $1 million?
