Parents need to know that the unconventional methods that Steve-O uses to "cure" his patients of troublesome phobias in this Jackass-style reality show aren't even close to being approved by the American Medical Association. Most of the "treatments" involve moderate violence and rely on gross-out tactics to keep audiences entertained. Unless you want your kids replicating the stunts, restrict viewing to older teens only -- and even then, reminders and reality checks are in order. Other iffy content includes swearing (both bleeped and audible) and sexualization of women.

Families can talk about what drives people to do stunts and bizarre things like the ones on this show. Do you think the outlandish "treatments" really cure Steve-O's patients -- or have they merely become the butt of a televised joke? Would less-shocking methods have delivered better results? And do you think Steve-O really cares about his patients' long-term health? Parents can also encourage kids to talk about the things that scare them and suggest constructive ways to overcome their fears.
