    Silly sitcom feels fake, but teens might enjoy.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 12–13

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Mixed messages -- characters lead generally moral, straight-laced lives, but gold-digging and other stereotypically female behavior is used for laughs without being critically examined.
  • Violence:

    Some jokey talk about beating up a woman of whom the main character is jealous.
  • Sex:

    One character in particular makes many sexual comments. One show deals with main characters' decision to have sex. Frequent innuendoes.
  • Language:

    Occasional mild swearing ("ass," "hell") and some sexual talk.
  • Consumerism:

    Current R&B/hip-hop star performs briefly in one episode.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About One on One

Parents need to know that although this series deals with teens on their own for the first time, it's relatively tame when it comes to drinking, adult language, and sexual activity. But it does contain a good deal of sexual innuendo and relationship drama that may not be appropriate for younger viewers. And some of the messages about those topics are confusing or potentially destructive (like when a character pushes up her breasts before going to meet a man she likes, saying "rise and shine, girls, we've got work to do").

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it would be like for teens to be on their own for the first time. What choices would you have to make? What kind of mistakes would you expect to pop up? How would you solve unexpected problems? They can also talk about stereotypes. How are the different women on the show portrayed? Do they act the way your friends act? Is that good or bad?
