The good stuff

    Though the brothers often get up to no good, they ultimately recognize the error of their ways.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Sexual innuendo figures in almost every episode. The brothers have active dating lives.

    Mild: "What the hell" and "damn" are thrown around.

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Social drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Wayans Bros.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what bonds siblings. Why is it important for brothers and sisters to get over their differences and show respect and love for each other? In what situations might people come to particularly rely on their family? Families can also talk about the show's brand of humor. Do you find it offensive or funny? Where do you draw the line between the two?
