What Parents Need to Know
About Dr. Steve-O
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
- 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.
