Parents need to know that boy-girl relationships figure prominently in this teen cartoon, mostly at the crush/casual dating level. Also, the six main characters' behavior at their after-school jobs isn't always exemplary or realistic; for some of them, mediocre work, goofing off, and getting fired are par for the course in almost every episode -- which is actually the crux of the show's humor. The underlying messages about responsibility almost get buried under all the silliness.

Families can talk about responsibility on the job and how each character's behavior at work does or doesn't reflect a responsible attitude. For example, what kinds of things do Jude and Jonesy do that seem irresponsible? Which characters work a little harder to make the best of their jobs, and how? Another discussion topic could be the stereotypes presented in the show. Which stereotypes do Caitlin and Nikki represent on the surface? What additional facets of their personality prevent those stereotypes from coming across as two-dimensional and negative? Does it seem realistic for these six vastly different personalities to form one tight-knit group?
