Innovative "super vehicles" are put to the test.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that, despite its title, this show -- which pits high-powered, resource-burning "super vehicles" against similar vehicles that use less fuel to get the job done -- isn't really violent (although viewers are reminded of the potential catastrophes that can occur if things go wrong). It includes some interesting educational details about the engineering design of each featured vehicle and discusses the pros and cons of each. There's some very mild sexual innuendo that will go over the head of young viewers. Vehicle brands and makes are sometimes visible.
Violence:
The machines are described as "mean" and "bad" and the challenges as "battles." During the challenges, the potential exists for dangerous collisions and other catastrophes.
Sex:
Some of the machines are referred to as "sexy" because of their sleek design and powerful performance. These references are mild enough to go over the head of young viewers.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Specific makes and brands of trucks (like Chevrolet), helicopters, and motorbikes are often featured.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
