What Parents Need to Know
About Batfink
Parents need to know that since this clever animated classic is about a superhero, viewers will meet plenty of criminals and gluttonous villains -- but they all get their comeuppance. There's some mild violence (flying bullets, etc.), but more likely to give today's parents pause is the mild-but-noticeable stereotyping -- hard to avoid, given the show's '60s origin. Compared to other shows from the same era, though, the stereotyping is far less blatant.
