Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–18

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Considering the charged reality-TV milieu, the show (and the women) are actually pretty tame and civil. That said, the show revolves around dancers in a burlesque group that has a reputation for being highly sexualized, which could have an impact on young female viewers' self-image.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Sexualized clothing and behavior, yes (and plenty of it). Actual sex, no.

  • Language:

    Words like "bitch" are unbleeped; stronger choices are censored.

  • Consumerism:

    No surprise: Lots of mention of the Pussycat Dolls.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Nothing of note. Lots of drinking ... from water bottles.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll / Girlicious

Parents need to know that this reality series revolves around scantily clad burlesque pop singers/dancers. For good and bad, the format mimics most competition/talent-based reality shows, down to the predictability. Also predictably, there's lots of skin on display (though other than that, the show is remarkably clean).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the lure of stardom and how people break into show business. Is it all just in the timing? Or does hard work truly pay off? Do talent and determination place second behind having "the right look" in the overall scheme of things? How is this series similar to and different from shows like American Idol?
