What Parents Need to Know
About Freak Show
Parents need to know that the characters in this program are circus sideshow performers with special powers, many of whom sensitive audiences might find offensive. One is a premature baby with the ability to pinpoint projectile-vomit; another is a clam who uses blinding "bitch juice" to incapacitate her enemies; and so on. It's all intentionally over the top, but that doesn't mean it's always easy to watch.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about making jokes at others' expense. When is it OK to laugh at someone (if ever), and when is it wrong? Does laughing at characters like the ones in this show reinforce the stereotypes they're based on? Why do some people make fun of people for having physical deformities or interests that fall outside the mainstream? When does a joke go too far?
