Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    This is a satirical look at the current reality TV roster, so the characters' faults -- greed, insecurity, jealousy -- are exaggerated cartoonishly (pun intended). Characters are also purposely one-dimensional, sending up stereotypes based on race, gender, and sexuality.
  • Violence:

    Guns are involved in some fight scenes; also fistfights and lots of name-calling. Flashback to a sexual assault.
  • Sex:

    Implied sexual intercourse; graphic depictions of straight and same-sex making out; some blurred/"censored" shots of animated nudity; characters' sexuality is always up for discussion/interpretation. Many of the female characters wear tight/skimpy outfits.
  • Language:

    "Shut up," "sucked ass," "that's gay," etc.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Social drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Drawn Together

Parents need to know that although this reality TV spoof is a cartoon, it's not for kids. The purposely stereotypical characters are irreverent and sarcastic and make fun of everything. This means that almost every episode includes various slurs and situations in which the characters insult one another, as well as people of different ethnicities, religious groups, and sexual orientations. Iffy language and frequent sexual shenanigans are also on the hit list.

      I rate this title iffy for age 16 and give it 4.0

      should be 16+

      This show has some things uncencored. So for that, you should be at least 16 to watch. But couple of things in the show are a little funny. Has anyone seen the quakers part.

      One of my favorite shows

      If you like family guy and south park like i do, then you will love this show. It does goes a little overboard with the sex jokes, but a really funny show

      Funny show!

      Probably say for 15+ since it is really crude and goes a little bit over with the sex jokes. Pretty much family guy and south park mixed in a cartoon reality series.
