    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Some sexual humor, couple discusses sex life, storyline can center around sex.

    Some drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The King of Queens

Parents need to know that the comedy is centered around a married couple and their problems, often sexual. Sarcastic humor is used as their primary form of communication and will be lost on younger kids. Teens might be bored since Doug and Carrie have no kids in the house.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the couple communicates. Are these extreme scenarios realistic? Do Doug and Carrie do outrageous things out of love for one another? Is sarcasm always a useful tool?

    I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

    It is a little iffy.

    It can be really funny sometimes, and a little inappropiate at other times(language, sexual behavior). But it is pretty entertaining.
