Parents need to know that this '90s sitcom is all about family and strong-but-loving parents and focuses on promoting education and respect. Overall, the show is very family-friendly, but it does occasionally deal with serious topics, including teen pregnancy and gangs (although always in a way that teaches positive lessons). Parents may want to prescreen before letting younger tweens watch.
Positive messages:Positive representations of family, parents, friendship, and the African-American community.
Violence:Occasional shoving and pushing, but these actions don't cause any real harm and usually lead to a demonstration of the danger of violence, gangs, and guns.
Sex:Includes references to dating and boy/girl relationships. At least one episode deals with teen motherhood/pregnancy, but it's not discussed within the context of sexual relationships.
