The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Some jokes at the expense of Foxworthy's favorite target -- rednecks -- but they're not mean-spirited.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Some skits involve activities like hunting ("Celebrity Deer Hunter," etc.), but there's no actual violence.
  • Sex:

    The show's dancers, The Homewreckers, are often relatively scantily clad and can dance suggestively.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

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

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Foxworthy's Big Night Out

Parents need to know that while comedian Jeff Foxworthy hasn't shied away from making his share of tasteless jokes in the past, for this show he sticks to the straight-and-narrow and delivers good, clean fun. He does include some of his trademark redneck jokes, but all of the references are made in jest and aren't mean-spirited.
