What Parents Need to Know
About Meet the Barkers
Parents need to know that that from the outside, the Barkers are not a cookie-cutter, conventional family. MTV shows us, however, that they're a loving couple, dedicated to their children and each other. There are references to sex, some mild profanity, and occasional use of alcohol, cigarettes, and pot, but the show is rather tame by MTV standards.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the show attempts to shatter stereotypes. Does it succeed? Why is it supposed to be shocking that a man covered in tattoos can be a good father? What makes Shanna and Travis good/bad parents? Is their lifestyle realistic?
