What Parents Need to Know

About The Life and Times of Juniper Lee

Parents need to know that the series has its share of cartoon violence, but only the bad monsters get beat up. It's a fun and inoffensive show with some very positive features: a girl superhero and a refreshing lack of racial stereotypes.

    One Episode Rotted My Brain...

    Well, It was canceled for a reason. How they can even compare this show with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "The Simpsons" is beyond me. I swear, sometimes I think that they can put anything on TV. The show had no plot and, for me, entertainment. Shows need to have a spine and enjoyable characters.
