The good stuff

    Not an issue.

What Parents Need to Know

About Rob & Big

Parents need to know that this reality show revolves around the exploits of skateboarding phenomenon Rob Dyrdek and his live-in bodyguard, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. Both clearly perform for the cameras, and some scenes might be too much for sensitive young viewers (for example, when Big is swimming in an athletic supporter, the cameras blur Big's butt as he exits the water). Impressionable teens may need a reminder not to copy anything they watch on TV at home.

How is living with family members similar to and different from living with roommates?

    • Inappropriate language

    Idiots!!!

    This is an awesome show. This is a really great show on Mtv2. They don't do stupid stunts like they do in the other Mtv2 shows. Insted they do other stupid things, like the time they dressed up as women, then put them selfs on a cearel box, and I bet the factory wasn't happy to see that. LOL!!!
