I used to love it, I still do. Its really funny! And its funny when they try to figure things out. . the thing that concerns me is that Raven's father I think is satin, isn't that what they said? I can't remember. Anyways, that episode was a little too. . . firey. It isn't too violent, i guess. It could use some lightening up though.

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Teen Titans was written by Joly Herman
Parents need to know that, if kids are affected by prolonged battle scenes, this show isn't the best bet for them. In fact, little else happens in this show besides violent confrontations. Sure, it's made in the martial arts tradition, where little blood is shown, and skill in battle is rewarded. Sure, it's a super slick cartoon full of dramatic shadows, gothic images and amazing graphics. Sure, your kid is going to want to watch it. But be aware that this show is all about the fight scenes.

More on Teen Titans
What’s the Story?
TEEN TITANS combines Japanese manga-style graphics with old-school Marvel Comics superheroes. The madcap pace of the comic moments combined with the interesting character quirks of the superheroes can be entertaining. On the other hand, these teens didn't get together to bond as friends -- they came to fight. And fight they do. Questions of honor, loyalty, friendship, strength, and capacity pop up in each episode. However, each episode also sees a member kidnapped, coerced, ridiculed, or tortured by "evil" forces.
Is It Any Good?
Though the male characters dominate the show, the female characters can be equally powerful. They bond with their male comrades in platonic relationships, which puts them on equal footing. Yet if it takes full-out war to bring females on par with men, then perhaps this equality is not worth the consequences. Teen Titans is seductive because it looks so awesome, but, frankly, there's so much violence that parents might think twice about letting it into the home on a regular basis -- if at all.

I rate this title on for age 6 and give it
- My concerns are:
- Negative role models
- My highlights are:
- Educational
- Good role models
Weel sometimes the brotherhood of evil may scare younger kids.Especially Madame Rouge.Especially when she absorbs people.Brother Blood may also be scary because he brainwashes people.But Jinx is a good role model for girls.She shows if she can turn away from bad so can you.Also there is a lesson in almost every episode.Like be aware of tricks,or don`t let anger get the best of you.But it mostly teaches team work.
