Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some negative gender stereotyping (for example, in one stunt the men drive while the women tell them what to do). Plays on cliches about differences between the sexes and what young, just-married couples are like.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    A sex therapist comes talks to the contestants about how often couples want sex.

  • Language:

    Words include "ass," "crap," and "fart." Some bleeping of stronger words.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    The couples drink beer and wine in a social setting.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Here Come the Newlyweds

Parents need to know that some of the discussions in this reality show about just-married couples can be frank -- for example, a sex therapist encourages them to say how often they think they should be having sex in one week. The show also plays up some broad gender stereotypes, and the couples are often seen rough-housing with each other, including playful swatting.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how editing can change what actually happened. How accurate do you think most reality shows are? How can producers manipulate footage to make people look better (or worse) than they really are? Why would they do that? Can you tell when the editing may not be reflecting what actually happened?

    BORING

    I watch and love TV. I love shows of that nature. This the biggest waste of time. I can not believe I looked forward to the first show. What a flop, I can not understand how it has stayed on, I thought it would be gone after watching the first show. Never thought ABC would continue to bore us. Remember the old Newlywed Game, all the fun and laughs. I can't wait for this show to disappear.
