    Reality show winner chases after his dream in tame series.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Overall the show has positive messages, including the importance of working hard, appreciating family, and giving back to the community. Knox often refers to his low-income South Central Los Angeles roots, including a time when his family was homeless. He makes comments about being “a black guy," rich “white folks,” and being “hood rich” thanks to his prize money.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Occasional disagreements between Knox and his siblings.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Although the overall language is mild, there is some use of words like “stupid." Very occasional curse words (like “f--k”) are fully bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    Although the series is a promotional vehicle for Knox’s business, the business phone number on the grooming vehicle is blurred out. A brief reference to Costco.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Knox makes occasional references to his father's struggle with drug addiction.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Beverly Hills Groomer

Parents need to know that this series -- which follows the winner of Groomer Has It as he opens up his own business -- underscores the idea that winning reality competitions doesn't guarantee success and highlights how much work goes into starting a business. It offers positive messages about appreciating family and giving back to the community, but you can expect a little bit of iffy language (plus the occasional bleeped swear word), a few stereotypical comments, and discussion of serious topics like drug addiction and serious illness. Overall, though, the series is an age-appropriate choice for tween dog lovers.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what life is really like for reality stars after the show is over. Do their lives really change? What kinds of challenges might they face after the cameras are turned off? Families can also discuss the difficulties associated with starting your own business. What skills does Knox have that make him a good businessperson? What does he need to work on? Are his plans idealistic or realistic? Why?
