Parents need to know
Families can talk about the role that hype plays in making the circus -- or the media, for that matter -- exciting. Would watching the show be as suspenseful if the host talked about safety gear and procedures? Which acts do you think are actually the hardest to perform? The most dangerous? Parents can also remind kids not to imitate what they seen on television at home.
Message
Social Behavior:
One of the celebrities successfully works on overcoming her fear of heights. On the other hand, one of the judges puts a lot of emphasis on how the celebrities look, as opposed to what they do.
Consumerism:
The participating celebs are brands in and of themselves.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Violence
Lots of talk about people going splat and some real injuries, but everyone seems to have some sort of safety harness or back up.
Sex
Some suggestive movements and skimpy costumes.
Language
Language includes words like "butt," "jackass," and "crotch." Several bleeps, but no lip-reading possible.

Is it any good?
Bottom line? In spite of the fact that we've all been here before in one way or another, there's an odd charm to the whole thing.
