Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 6–8

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The main character (while a fantasy creature and not human) is definitely Hispanic. Slapstick, put downs, nothing really objectionable -- all sort of age-appropriate
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Ricochet -- the main character -- is a wrestler and the episodes center on fights.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Mucha Lucha!

Parents need to know that this show centers around the fighting ability of Mucha Lucha and the gang's ability to have unique defenses. The main character is a cross between a Pokemon creature and a street Latino kid. It's fine for your kids to watch, but it's nothing but the gang's battles to save the world while having to clean their rooms.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether it's OK for some kids' TV shows to have no goal but to entertain. Do you think all kids' shows need to have a bigger goal/purpose? Kids: Is watching a show like this as satisfying as watching one that has bigger/better messages? Why or why not?

    Pretty stupid.

    It gives kids an unwanted use of inherited prejudice. The show is drownding in a stream of an anarchy of potty humor. Intestinal gas problems should just be a social problem instead of a fighting weapon.

    Not so great

    I think this show leaves much to be desired. I doubt that in the half hour my kids watch this program, that they are absorbing anything meaningful or educational or even entertaining.
