What Parents Need to Know
About The Proud Family
Parents need to know that this animated series isn't like others in which race is incidental to the situation comedy. Instead, the show depicts Penny and her friends as the African-American kids they are.

Families Can Talk About

Hilarious!!!!
This is such a cute funny show! It's had me histarical and even my parents like it! It's really funny! The Best! Awesome! Soooo funny! It's not bad at all, nothing offensive. If u find something offensive, u may be taking it too seriously. Oscar is silly and fun, but he is a good parent if you really look at his values. He watches over penny alot and that's a good parent-role model sort of thing for you parents! It's so good they don't show it anymore. Precisely becuz of it's values!

Disney Channel's best animated sitcom
There's always a good moral in every episode of the series. Whether it's fighting for what's right or finding out who your friends really are, good messages are present throughout the whole "Proud Family" series. When you put the rude humor, innuendo, and the good values together, everything equals out making social behavior "not an issue". This show has a presumable target audience of kids 7-12. If you have kids in that age group, you should check out "The Proud Family". It currently airs in late night on Disney Channel and in daytime on Toon Disney. (Both channels are available in HD.)
