This show is fine for your children I would say 9 and up! There is nothing sexual no bad language and extreamly mild violence. The boys crush on girls a little but its nothing really bad. The worst thing I would think is how you see cory's greed. All he wants is money money money. But thats nothing really bad. I would say this show is fine for young kids.

What Parents Need to Know
About Cory in the House
Parents need to know that this spin-off of the popular Disney series That's So Raven picks up the story as the Baxter men (dad Victor and son Cory) move into the White House, where Victor is to be the president's personal chef. The show continues the exaggerated comedy style of its parent program, often putting characters into ridiculously unlikely situations for laughs -- and its White House locale offers plenty of opportunity for that. There's little to worry parents of older kids and tweens, since the overall silliness trumps any questionable material, and strong messages about self-respect, honesty, and friendship abound.

I agree with you CommonSense. It deffinetly lacks what That's So Raven had. Lemme break it down for you. Sexual Content: Mild- Romantic kisses in dreams dreamt by Cory, who's crushing on Meena. Violence: Very mild- If there's pushing or shoving, it's usually in a comedic way, not out of anger. Language: Not a problem- "Dang dawg!" is the only word to describe anger in this show. Message: Cory has been raised by good parents and he's a good kid, which is exactly the kind of role model you want for your kids. Commercialism: Almost none- Kung Fu Kats is a T.V. show that is Cory's weakness. One episode is about Sophie, the president's evil daughter, who has a video of cory danced like a fool to the theme song of Kung Fu Kats. It's not a real show (of course) so it probably doesn't have an impact on commercialism. This show is good and I'm disappointed that it was cancelled, but it just didn't have Raven's magic, like CommonSense said.

A stupid show, but fine for kids
In my opinion, the pilot of "Cory in the House" was the funniest. After that the show got lamer and Disney Channel moved it to various time slots. That doesn't surprise me, since the show is so stupid and unrealistic. Adult figures in this show are dumb. The President acts like a total idiot and Cory's dad doesn't care much about him like on "That's So Raven." Overall, kids will enjoy this age-appropriate (but stupid) show.

Good Show
Some of the episodes are a little advanced for the younger kids though. This show is funny as in dumb and funny as in smart! It's a good TV show. Definatley in the top ten.
