What Parents Need to Know
About Overhaulin'
Parents need to know that this surprise car-renovation show is based on a somewhat iffy premise. With the permission of family members, the crew pretends to steal the featured vehicle and follows up with pranks throughout the week while they work on it. While the owners are understandably upset initially (and it's hard to watch them experience the fake theft), they're always happy to get their updated vehicles in the end. Overall, the pranksters take a gentle approach and don't milk the joke too intensely. Lots of automotive brands are featured, along with major car fetishism.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about cars. Why are some people so fascinated by cars? Do you think it's important to have a car that looks nice? What would be the coolest thing to have in your car? How much money do you think it takes to fix up these cars? Do you think some owners are disappointed that they didn't get to work on the cars themselves? Why do you think the crew pretends to steal the car, rather than just announce to the owners what they're planning to do?
