Cupid (ABC)
common sense media says
Love dramedy is aimed at adults' hearts, not kids'.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this relationship-oriented dramedy is aimed squarely at adults -- specifically single women. To that end, it's peppered with sexual innuendo and suggestive quips, like the title character's belief that "Love is passion, love is heat, chemistry, sex." Scenes regularly take place in a bar, which means adult characters are often shown drinking socially. There's also an ongoing flirtation between the title character and his doctor. But language is mild, and violence isn't an issue.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
The man character purports to be the god of love. There's manufactured sexual tension between the title character and his doctor (at the bar, he propositions her with lines like "Sex on the Beach,
Screaming Orgasm ... after-hours grope on a lunatic's futon?"). There's also some passionate kissing and references to sex -- although, in general, it's suggestive rather than graphic. One character makes reference to a "chastity pledge."

Language:
Infrequent swearing (mostly words like "damn") and some descriptive phrases like "trashy lingerie" and "drain the dragon."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The title character works as a bartender at a bar called Tres Equis (XXX). As a result, adult characters are often shown drinking socially, consuming everything from beer and mixed drinks to tequila shots. But characters usually don't drink to excess.
