Why We Rated This for Ages 14 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  The show's main message is about overcoming prejudice and respecting diversity. Specifically addresses prejudices against Muslims. Jason and Raja are both treated as outsiders at school and are teased and even threatened as a result.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Rough-housing, teasing.
• Sex:

  Lots of teenage talk about sex -- but with most of the juicy details skipped. Comments are made about a teenage girl's breasts (she's also nominated to a list of the most "bangable" girls at school) and a boy checks out cleavage on a Web site called "Rack Ranker"; a boy pretends to make out with a pillow; teen boys are mocked for their supposed homosexuality (a pair of bullies mimes gay sex as part of the taunting); a teen boy walks around naked in the locker room, though only his chest and legs are shown.
• Language:

  Some use of words like "hell," "crap," "damn," "bastard," "skanky," "douche," and "retard." Some prejudicial language, like "Fudge-Pakistani," is used in punchlines (but terms like that aren't endorsed/condoned).
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
