What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this documentary series -- which profiles famous artists, TV shows, and media events that have significant places in contemporary entertainment history -- sometimes has some edgy content. Depending on the episode, some of the footage contains strong language (though words like "f--k" are bleeped out), women in revealing clothing, and some discussions about gang violence, shooting, and murder. While the series does showcase popular musicians, actors, and shows, they're discussed in a historical context and aren't really being promoted for commercial purposes.
Violence:
Some episodes include lyrics and/or discussions about theft, gang violence, and murder. Some of the music video footage shows guns and dead people. Certain artists' criminal behavior is sometimes discussed.
Sex:
Some episodes feature conversations and lyrics that reference sex and intimate relationships. Some music video footage shows dancers moving suggestively and wearing tight leotards. One episode documents steamy soap opera scenes; others show women wearing sexy clothing and bathing suits.
Language:
Audible language includes words like "damn" and "hell" stronger choices ("ass," "f--k") are bleeped out. The "N" word is sometimes heard. Rude gestures are blurred out.
Consumerism:
The series features (and, some might say, promotes) popular artists and other famous celebrities, as well as TV shows and movies. But they're all discussed in a historical context.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Occasional references to drug and alcohol abuse. Cigar smoking is sometimes visible; tobacco pipes occasionally shown as props.
