Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The main characters are good at heart, but their flaws are highlighted for comedy's sake. Plots involve jealosy, competition, cheating, etc. Anti-corporate message. Humorous, though not unkind, treatment of race and homosexuality. Diverse cast.

  • Violence:

    Some slapstick humor -- chasing, hitting.

  • Sex:

    Discussion of sexual activity, such as one-night stands, "friends with benefits," heavy flirting.

  • Language:

    Mild swearing ("damn," "ass," etc.). Some other coarse language, like "screw."

  • Consumerism:

    Girl Scout Cookies appear in one episode. Some brands are visible in the background, but they're not obvious.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some discussion of drinking or smoking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About 10 Items or Less

Parents need to know that this irreverent, partially improvised sitcom has plenty of adult-skewed humor, including jokes about casual sex and Jesus. Ethnicity and sexual orientation are the basis of some jokes, though the treatment is generally respectful. Some crude language pops up.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about improvisation. Can you tell what parts of the show are improvised? What makes improv good or bad? Under what circumstances do you get to exercise your own "improv" skills? Families can also talk about workplace behavior. Why is it important to do a good job at work? (Or, for teens, at school.)
