    It's not perfect, but this home has harmony.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–15

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Tucker struggles for authority with her 13-year-old son, and their discussions typically explode into loud verbal brawls. On the plus side, Tucker is an involved, caring single mom.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Grayson flirts with girls who enjoy hanging all over him. He comments about the looks of particular girls.

  • Language:

    "Damn," "hell," "ass" and the like are used frequently. The hardcore words (which fly fast and furiously between mother and son during arguments) are bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    Non-brand name soda and junk food are a part of social gatherings, but since the show is taped in the home, they're not really noticeable.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Adults occasionally drink nameless beverages that appear to be mixed drinks, but there's no use by teens.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Tuckerville

Parents need to know that this reality series portrays both the good and the bad, but often highlights the ugly. Respect and authority between country star Tanya Tucker and her 13-year-old son, Grayson, are definite issues. The rockiness of their relationship and the strong language they use toward each other is pretty intense. But although she's not everyone's ideal of motherhood, Tucker is a single mom who, despite her career and hectic schedule, is very involved in her kids' daily lives.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the "reality" of this series. What aspects of the Tuckers' life are similar to yours? Do these kids and parents face challenges that are greater than yours because they're famous, or are their lives made easier by celebrity? Mom Tanya's relationships with her kids also encourage discussion. How do the Tuckers succeed and/or fail at communication?
