Parents need to know
Families can talk about the popularity of "real-life" family TV shows. What makes a family entertaining enough for television? Do you think the families featured on these shows act the same way when the cameras aren't there? Families can also discuss what happens when an apparently "perfect" reality show family seems to fall apart. Should these problems become entertainment for others? How have things changed for the Hogans since Hogan Knows Best?
Message
Social Behavior:
Brooke lives on her own but remains connected to her family. The show includes discussions about her parents' contentious divorce and her brother's legal problems. Brooke's friend/roommate Glenn is gay.
Consumerism:
The interiors of stores like Target are sometimes visible during shopping sprees. Brooke's music is heard occasionally.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Alcohol consumption (including underage drinking) is sometimes visible.
Violence
Brooke's dad supplies her with various self-defense mechanisms (tasers, mace, etc.) and discusses how they can keep her safe.
Sex
Lots of young women and men in skimpy bathing suits. Hugging and kissing are sometimes visible; there's also some stronger sexual innuendo. Brooke and Glenn discuss looking for "hot" guys. Hulk Hogan makes references to "erections" and catching venereal diseases (but within the context of avoiding them).
Language
Mild; words like "hell" and "damn" are used occasionally.

Is it any good?
Although in many ways dealing with these issues forces Brooke to recognize that entering adulthood isn't always about partying and having fun, they don't exactly make for great entertainment -- and, in fact, many of the big conversations come across as heavily scripted. And the truth is that without Brooke's quirky, over-protective dad hanging around, the show really isn't very amusing. But die-hard Hogan family fans may like getting another look behind the scenes.
