Parents need to know that this reality series chronicles the exploits of five siblings -- led by pop star Nick Carter (formerly of The Backstreet Boys) -- as they move into an L.A.-area bungalow in an attempt to bond after their parents' divorce. Although Nick serves as a father figure, his uninhibited siblings sometimes drink too much and exhibit poor eating habits. They also fight all the time and generally run wild.

Families can talk about sibling relationships. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having siblings? Why do brothers and sisters fight so often? How do sibling relationships change as you get older? Why is it that family members can make you angrier than anyone else? Families can also talk about the Carter siblings' unusual circumstances. How likely is it that five kids in a non-famous family would do what they're doing? What else about their lives is unrealistic?
