Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The Teen Angels appear to travel the country doing good for no reward, and they're smart, adventurous, independent female characters. But social behavior and messages are in no way the show's focus.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Cartoon violence -- capturing villains, conking them on the head -- on the Scooby-Doo level. Lots of kidnapping.

  • Sexy stuff:

    In spite of the Teen Angels' sexy appearance, there's no sex or sexual innuendo.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels

Parents need to know that although the appearance of some of the characters in this '70s cartoon borrows liberally from the then-hugely popular Charlie's Angels, it's actually surprisingly tame. Plus, for its era, it has relatively little minority or sexist stereotyping. All three girls are smart and adventurous and in control of their caveman, who's more like a pet than the Angels' Charlie. That said, villains do tend toward easy/cliched targets like Soviets and other Cold War enemies.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what other shows they think influenced this one. What does it have in common with The Flintstones? Scooby-Doo? Charlie's Angels? Josie and the Pussycats? Why do you think the people who make these shows would want to make a new one that has so much in common with other ones? Is it OK to "borrow" ideas from other movies or TV shows for your own? Why or why not?
