Battleground Earth: Ludacris vs. Tommy Lee (Planet Green)
common sense media says
Green reality show is more talk than eco-action.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a fairly standard reality program done up in green wrapping. Theoretically, the challenges are designed to promote eco-friendly habits -- or at least promote the idea of making changes that will benefit the environment -- but they sometimes seem to be mostly for show, with little evidence that any of the participants actually make adjustments to how they live. The teams often convene for strategy sessions and post-event celebrations at bars and nightclubs, so expect a fair amount of drinking. There's also some bleeped swearing and a bit of flirtatious behavior.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
No sex or nudity, but there's a fair amount of flirting between Tommy Lee and one of his team members, Nina.
Language:
Some words are bleeped.
Consumerism:
This show trades on Lee and Ludacris' star power and frequently promotes their musical careers. Plenty of other celebrities make guest appearances, and the participants often visit significant attractions and events, like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as well as local establishments, which appear on screen and are usually referred to by name. The competitions involve a variety of green projects, many of which require products -- and even advice -- from companies that offer such services and are promoted by name.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The teams often hold strategy sessions and post-challenge celebrations at bars and nightclubs, so there's plenty of drinking.
