What Parents Need to Know
About The Amanda Show
Parents need to know that this show is mired in violent cartoon humor, questionable social behavior (including stereotypes), and strange gross-out punchlines that dilute the appeal of star Amanda Bynes. Kids will find this show very stimulating, though whether they're agitated or amused after watching it is something to observe.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the difference between being funny and being crude. Can a joke be successful without disrespecting the participants? Does hitting someone in the head with a computer console make for good laughs? How does it feel when someone makes fun of another person's accent or cultural background?

The Amanda Show
Sexual Content (Not an Issue): Some references to non-sexual nudity. Violence (Off): Over the top slapstick style violence. Characters are hit over the head with anything available (yes, anything - computers, chairs, baseballs, etc.) Language (Not an Issue): "Butt" and "pee" are occasionally used. Social Behavior (Pause): Some racial stereotypes and disrespectful behavior towards elders. All characters are white, some crude humor. Commercialism (Not an Issue): None. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): A character acts stoned all the time, but he's never shown drinking and it's never mentioned that he does.
