What Parents Need to Know
About Rodney
Parents need to know that the series' adult characters bicker and have trite, insincere miscommunications. They also forgive each other and care tremendously for their kids -- despite the normal ups and downs of a middle class American family, nothing seems to interfere with this strong familial bond. There's no violence (except occasional accidental falls and sibling squabbles), but the language is a bit iffy, as are the sexual innuendos.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the family unit as depicted by the Hamilton family. Is this family "typical"? What's the definition of family -- is it even possible to define? Parents can discuss the many ways that families are defined today -- single parents, co-parenting, grandparents raising kids, families with parents of the same gender. Last but not least, how are gender stereotypes demonstrated by the division of household chores between the mom and dad?
