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
This review of Cory in the House was written by Emily Ashby
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.

More on Cory in the House
What’s the Story?
In the Disney Channel's spin-off series CORY IN THE HOUSE, Kyle Massey reprises his That's So Raven role as 15-year-old Cory, the irrepressible teen with big entrepreneurial plans for his future. With the women of the house away, Cory and his dad, Victor (Rondell Sheridan, also a Raven veteran), move to the White House, where Victor oversees the presidential kitchen. Cory attends an elite private school, where his classmates are sons and daughters of high-ranking government and political officials. After a stumble with his self-image (quickly remedied by a reminder about being true to yourself), Cory easily befriends the beautiful Meena (Maiara Walsh), whose dad is the ambassador from the fictional country of Bahavia, and laid-back Newt (Jason Dolley), who's unaffected by his family's political dynasty ... including the helicopter that drops him at school each day.
Is It Any Good?
Ever the budding businessman, Cory wastes no time working his schmoozing magic on everyone he meets (including the president himself), but he soon discovers that the Washington crowd can be a tough one. One of his most difficult challenges may be the president's precocious (some might say "spoiled") 8-year-old daughter, Sophie (Madison Pettis), who delights in getting Cory into sticky situations.
There's little cause for concern with this show, and young Raven fans will likely enjoy the outlandish antics of her little brother -- who clearly can carry on the family tradition of silliness. But Cory in the House probably won't hold the attention of older tweens, who may be turned off by its highly unlikely scenarios and quick solutions to conflict. Parents who tune in with their kids might get a few chuckles of their own at the trite, comedic portrayal of President Martinez (John D'Aquino) and the inner workings of the White House.

It's good but...
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.
