This is a really good show that a lot of people can relate to. Gary Unmarried is about a man named Gary, his ex-wife Allison, and his two kids Tom and Louise. It's very funny with pretty approiate jokes for children 10 and over. Gary Unmarried is similar to The New Adventures of Old Christine, so fans of that show will probably like this one as well.

What Parents Need to Know
About Gary Unmarried
Parents need to know that the main character in this sitcom is a recently divorced man; some of the show's situations and humor might be hard to watch for families dealing with similar issues of their own. Although Gary gets along with his ex-wife, they do exchange some tense quips. There are also some stereotypical references about ex-wives being controlling and divorced dads being out of touch with their kids' needs. While the language is mild, there's some sexual innuendo (some of which will go over younger viewers' head), at least one subtle reference to inappropriate online relationships, and references to beer and drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the media presents divorced parents. Do you think divorced mothers are portrayed differently than divorced dads? If so, why and how? Do you think TV series and movies that show ex-spouses getting along are realistic? Families can also discuss the impact that divorce can have on families. What are some of the challenges kids face when their parents can no longer stay married? What are some of the challenges moms and dads face when they have to separate?
