Poking fun at quirky animals can get a bit racy.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that, despite its TV-G rating, this series is laced with sexual innuendoes that will either go over kids' heads or instigate lots of questions that parents may not want to answer. Comedians often make jokes about how animals' mating rituals and sexual practices compare to humans', and there's occasional mention of the critters using their sex appeal for "getting action." Some scenes also show decaying and dismembered animal carcasses.
Violence:
Some scenes show decaying or dismembered carcasses, and the narrator refers to animals killing their prey.
Sex:
Animal mating rituals are often discussed at length, and comedians refer to their subjects "having sex" and "getting action." Plenty of innuendo draws humorous comparisons between sexuality in the animal and human worlds. Most of the jokes will go over kids' head, but since this type of humor is often the crux of the show's humor, it's likely to raise questions anyway.
Language:
No cursing, but infrequent use of substitutes like "frickin'."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
