    L.A. guys drink, flirt ... and that's about it.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some of the guys are responsible, and some are immature jerks. Emphasis is on looks, "getting girls," and partying. Women only appear as eye candy and are very much objectified by the guys.
  • Violence:

    Lots of arguing and horseplay. Some hostile pushing and shoving.
  • Sex:

    Discussion of sex and celibacy. Constant talk about women's looks (with the accompanying instant judgments). Scantily clad women dance provocatively. Potential for shots of sexual activity.
  • Language:

    Constant cursing, though most is bleeped. Guys call each other "pimp."
  • Consumerism:

    Cell phones are prominent, and the guys themselves are pretty materialistic. Lots of encouragement to visit the MTV Web site, where tons of commercials exist.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Alcohol flows freely.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Twentyfourseven

Parents need to know that this reality show focuses on a group of young male friends in Hollywood. They drink heavily and frequently comment on women's appearance. Some of the men behave responsibly, while others are rude, inconsiderate, and possibly even criminal. Women play window-dressing roles only and often appear wearing very little clothing. Making money and wearing fashionable clothes is a major element in the guys' lives, as are fame and attention.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the values they see in the show. What do you think is the most important thing for each of these guys? What are their goals? How do your goals and values compare to theirs? Does it seem like these young men are having fun? What's fun about their lifestyle? Can teens picture themselves in Hollywood? What do teens want to be doing when they're in their early 20s? What messages do shows like these send kids about expectations for their young adulthood?
