Why We Rated This on for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Teens question, discuss, and contemplate their own actions and the actions of others, take responsibility for mistakes, discuss modern-day issues and relate them back to their high school lives (i.e. free speech and first amendment issues). Jealousy, crushes, dating, and friendships are all handled with more maturity than other shows for this age group.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Radio Free Roscoe

Parents need to know that this series deals with modern issues that go beyond those of the typical teen drama. Matters like free speech are related back to the teen characters' everyday life. That said, there are still plenty of battles over love, friendship, and gossip. The anonymity of the radio show allows the characters to be honest, question their surroundings, and hash out the implications of their actions.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about other programs that use politics or civil liberties to drive their premise (if they can think of any ...). Is the characters' maturity level realistic? Are they role models? Do teens prefer watching shows filled with drama and sex, or have they simply become accustomed to that type of programming? How does this series differ from other programs your teen watches?
