Okay, so I've watched the DVD version and the TV version and I will say first that the DVD has full-frontal nudity and the use of f*ck all over it. That being said, the version shown on TV is no different than a TV-MA show, meaning that the nudity is cut around and not shown and f-bombs have been replaced with words such as "frick" but other words such as "shit" and "asshole" are said without being censored.

What Parents Need to Know
About Blade: The Series
Parents need to know that since this series (which is based on the movies starring Wesley Snipes) is all about hunting down vampires, it can get pretty violent. Even when the hero isn't swinging his sword, shooting his special garlic gun, flinging silver knives, or blasting away with silver bullets, there's an undercurrent of malice. The vampires are portrayed as elegant but amoral and cast a looming sense of malevolence over every scene. Even the hero approaches his work with a sense of grim fatalism and doesn't exactly inspire the same kind of buoyant optimism as other superheroes. It's sometimes gory, more than a little creepy, and just the right kind of show to give little kids very bad dreams.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether it's worthwhile to trade away your soul and your place among humanity in exchange for superhuman powers, eternal life, and a never-ending need to kill other people. Though the vampires are clearly monsters, they live among people, often as respected members of society, and there are aspects of this existence that might be considered appealing. But the series also makes it very clear that there are some major tradeoffs to the life of a bloodsucker, not the least of which is the complete loss of any sense of right and wrong. What else are the vampires giving up?
