What Parents Need to Know
About Hardware
Parents need to know that this British sitcom includes slang terms for body parts ("c--k" and "t--s," for instance), lots of sexual innuendo, and male and female characters who are obsessed with sex. Strong language is sporadic, but there's a constant battle of harsh insults -- including references to weight and age -- between two characters who despise each other. This series is definitely geared toward adults, who can best appreciate the hot-cold feelings among co-workers and the show's humorous take on life's little irritants.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about work issues. How do you relate to co-workers? How can you overcome differences with a co-worker? What difficulties can arise from working with good friends? Teens: What's your ideal job? What kind of work environment would you want? Do you work better with or without other people? Could you work in a job that paid less but gave you more fulfillment? Families can also discuss the characteristics that mark British comedies. How do you think this show would be different if it were made in the United States?
