What Parents Need to Know
About Edgar & Ellen
Parents need to know that this series centers on mischief-making and playing practical jokes on people. Some of it is a bit mean-spirited (even though the object of the prank may well deserve it), while some is just good-natured fun. The main characters are always out to put snooty classmates and townspeople in their place by embarrassing or frightening them, but their dastardly plans often backfire, so there are consequences for their ill intentions. They also have positive qualities: They look out for each other; they're remarkably clever, creative, and resourceful; and they even help their community occasionally instead of just spreading chaos. The show has an interactive component run through its Web site.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about playing pranks and how to treat people who are different from you. What jokes did Edgar and Ellen plan? Why did they decide to pull these pranks? Was it to help someone, or was it for their own gain? Were they successful? Do you agree with their approach to handling conflict with people who aren't like them? What do you think of playing practical jokes on people? Would you do that to someone? How would you feel if someone pulled a prank on you? If you don't get along with someone because they think or act differently than you, is it right to embarrass or scare them?
