What Parents Need to Know
About Summerland
Parents need to know that this is a show about adults, for adults. Talking about sex (and a fair amount of participating in it, too) is part of the show's fabric, as is a lot of casual drinking. Parenting skills are often trite and iffy, and the characters use a lot of borderline-swearing language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about issues of loss and family relationships. Also, everyone in the show is beautiful and slender -- how hard must it be to keep up appearances? Is it realistic? How does peer pressure factor in? Can Ava and her friends really be "a family" to these orphans? Is life in a beach town really like this?

love this show, wish it were back!!
I miss this show, i they'd take it off the air!! ok, it's about a family living in a beach house in CA. Bradin and his sister's parents died in a car crash and are now living with their fashion designer aunt. Bradin loves to surf and his sister loves to read and just hang out with family and friends. Both siblings meet friends, have relationships, and just enjoy everything!!

It is a really cool show.
This is the kind of show that shows that family is important to live a good life. It shows that you must work things out to be friends with someone, but also shows the importance of hanging with the right group, and what happens if you don't Overall, it's a show you can't stop watching.

I love this show!!
This show has a lot of issues to talk about amongst the family. Some parts are questionable but I think overall it has a good message.
