Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–15

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Social stereotypes (ex. rednecks) are lampooned relentlessly.
  • Violence:

    In one episode, the cast goes hunting, but viewers don't see animals get shot.
  • Sex:

    Some sexual innuendo in both the stand-up and sketch portions of the program.
  • Language:

    Cast members use words like "turd" and "son of a bitch."
  • Consumerism:

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

    Social drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Blue Collar TV

Parents need to know that stereotypes abound in almost every episode, from making fun of rednecks to mocking "white trash." Other things to keep an eye out for are some mild language, innuendo, and social drinking.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about labels and judging someone because of where they're from or how they look. Why is it important to accept people for who they are rather than base our opinions on the color of their skin or their background? Does the show's humor reinforce or undermine stereotypes?

    It's BLUE COLLAR COMEDY!!!!!

    Man, I just loved the Blue Colalr Comedy Tour movies. Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy together in one two hour package with to other very funny guys. It's certaintly a hilarious show, though a little...crude for younger kids.
