Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Romeo often raps about being "color blind" and wanting to get along. Females are strong and allowed to be funny. Males can swagger, but it's mostly play-acting. Racially mixed family.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Boys' rough-and-tumble play.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Teens kiss, and girls wear tiny skirts, but nothing out of the ordinary.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The Miller family lives a comfortable lifestyle, but besides the music equipment, nothing is really focused on in a materialistic way.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Romeo!

Parents need to know that this refreshing series' script (which offers genuinely funny moments) doesn't rely on shocking or inappropriate plot devices to keep viewers interested, nor does the violence associated with the rap world infect the Miller home. The Millers are somehow like a modern-day Partridge Family (without the cheesy hair and duds) who play music together because they love the music and because they love each other.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the fact that the dad is constantly touring. At the outset of the series, the kids are left with babysitters or neighbors; later, a stepmother takes care of them. How might his absence affect their lives? Also, does Romeo's desire to be cool keep him from doing some things that his nerdier foster brother might do?

    Great Show!

    I loved this show! It was funny and cool. Romeo is a great actor, rapper, and person and the show is wonderful! I was upset to find that the show was canceled and put on theN. I wish for the show to come back!
