What Parents Need to Know
About Time Warp
Parents need to know that this series often revolves around filming things blowing up -- but no one gets hurt, and there are lots of cautions/warnings. The show encourages curiosity, but there doesn't always seem to be a compelling scientific reason behind the experiments.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why it's entertaining to watch things blow up. Does your interest in watching something like that depend on whether or not someone one gets hurt? Do you think shows like this are really teaching viewers that much about science, or are they using science education as an excuse to play with fireworks? Are the warnings not to try this stuff at home really that effective at discouraging kids?
