What Parents Need to Know
About The War at Home
Parents need to know that the humor here is geared toward adults, although kids will certainly pick up on some of the risqué references. A lot of the situations revolve around sex, including references to cross-dressing, bisexuality and homosexuality, and implied oral sex. One episode featured a missing "secret stash" of marijuana that belonged to the parents. The program is primarily from the parents' point of view, so there is a "behind the curtain" view into what these parents are really thinking. This "honesty" and sarcasm is something not all kids will understand or be ready to handle. The series follows The Simpsons on Fox's Sunday night, so kids may be interested, especially since the type of humor is similar (although a bit more obvious). Watch a few episodes before making it part of your family-hour.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about topics such as dating, experimenting, and sex, all of which come up in the show. Families can discuss whether or not they think David and Vicky are good parents and role models. They might ask their teens if they prefer traditional family comedies or ones like this, where the parents are flawed and don't always have the answers.

OK show
This show is OK, gets boring after a while. It uses the typical themes such as teenage daughter rebelling, parents being overworked, etc. I would recommend this for kids 11 and up
