What Parents Need to Know

About The Brothers Garcia

Parents need to know that the parents on this show are looked up to and respected by their kids and are treated with love and respect. Todo para la familia -- everything for the family -- is the motto that the Garcia family adheres to. Latin family values are celebrated and treasured, which is a treat for those viewers who haven't been exposed to this tradition of love, care, and clan.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about George's insatiable appetite -- why is he always eating? Is that healthy behavior for a growing boy, or is there something deeper? Is Lorena's penchant for the dramatic a result of being a girl in a family of boys? Why are they "The Brothers Garcia" and not "The Family Garcia"?

    To bad its not on any more.

    A good faith based show. There are lots of differnt ages in the family so everyone can kinda relate to at leats 1 of the charcters. It has normall problems like a crush on your english teacher or trying to be popular but not hurt your friends feelings. Alot more reallistic then 7th heaven! They dont have a dramitic thing going on with every charcter in each episode. Very well rounded show. To bad its off air!
