Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Some of the behavior and attitudes on display in the commercial parodies are iffy; in one, a boy mimes urinating on a purse. On the plus side, the cast is impressively diverse.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Not an issue.

  • Sexy stuff:

    One older teen tries to convince another to join him in a kissing party.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    There are no real products in the show, parodies of real products are obvious -- like Barbie and Guitar Hero.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    One commercial parody suggests sedating unruly kids, but it's clearly a parody.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Kids Unlimited

Parents need to know that although this show is age-appropriate for tweens overall, there are better ways for them to spend their time. Some of the series' commercial parodies depict fairly iffy attitudes and behaviors -- for example, one is for a doll called Back Tattoo Brandie, and another is for Little Devils sedatives for kids (in the latter, a boy is shown miming urinating on a purse). Also, one subplot involves a take-off on selling your soul to the devil -- a kid promises to give up his Eternal Soul II video game to his friend if he wins a competition. All of that said, there's not much in the way of violence or language to worry about, and the cast is impressively diverse.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the commercial parodies. Can you tell which real products the fake ones are meant to suggest? Kids: Do these segments help sell the products they're parodying, or are they just making fun of them?
