What Parents Need to Know
About Dance Your Ass Off
Parents need to know that while the central message of this weight loss-oriented reality competition is positive for all ages, the show is targeting adults and older teens, not kids. (Need a clue that it's not meant for young children? Note the word "ass" in the title.) Expect to hear some slang words for body parts -- including "junk" and "booty" -- and see a few brand-name food and drink items. Costumes tend toward the revealing, too, occasionally baring midriffs or buttocks.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the importance of staying healthy through proper nutrition and regular exercise. Overall, do you think you do a good job of choosing healthy foods and staying active? What are some things you could do as a family to make better choices when it comes to your health?
- Families can also discuss the intent of a show like this one. Is it meant to motivate and inspire viewers to get healthy, or was it designed to exploit its contestants for entertainment purposes? Could it be a little bit of both?

Bad judgment
I know I'm making comments before this show has even aired, but I have no intention of allowing it to be watched in my home. I have gone out of my way to set parental controls on my TV, in the hope that I can filter out offensive material. Then my child tells me about a new show called "Dance Your A** Off". She saw an add on a "family friendly" channel and quoted it to me. What kind of fools use such crude language in the title of a show? Any program produced by people with such poor judgment will not be viewed in my home.
