What Parents Need to Know
About Catch It Keep It
Parents need to know that this science-based series demonstrates some of the real-world applications of technology and construction skills like carpentry and welding. Contestants must work together, combining their know-how and keeping a cool head under pressure to win the competition. In some cases, though, that same pressure causes tempers to flare, so expect occasional strong language (“damn,” mostly) and tense exchanges. Episodes also frequently feature challenge-related fires, explosions, and more. But overall, the series encourages creative thinking and problem-solving and is a fun choice for older tweens and teens.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can also talk about science and its applications. How do science and technology improve our daily existence? What aspects of science interest you? What problems would like to solve? How would you go about it?
- What parts of the show are based in pure science, and which do you think might have been added to make for more exciting TV? Would you have been as interested in watching if there weren't any explosions, etc?
- How much of what you see on TV is actually advertising? How do TV shows and movies include product placement in their content? Does the Internet increase this advertising overload?

- Negative role models
Pointless and wasteful. Creating silly contraptions for a silly situation. Science? don't waste your time. Opening music is horrible also--probably the worst part.
