Parents just need to relax a bit more
Okay I'll admit this show is weird. Now it has it's moments and an answer for down right everything but not always good one. You do have to know enough that drilling a hole in your head to reach a high will kill you and not to attempt it. Seeing as i began watching this when i was seven I'm a attached to this show and i have no issue with children watching it as long as they know what they are watching and know enough not to do anything stupid or start swearing on a normal basis. I don't really have issues with the language seeing as i knew all the words by the time i was seven other kids and parents might but it really isn't. The are some questionable one liners but they really shouldn't be able to understand them. Unless you explain them, there are some strange role models if you call them that but some are good and some are bad I'll let you decide.

More intense than CSM's review claims, but still a great show
Be aware that CSM's summary of the profanity used in the show ONLY applies to the censored reruns on SciFi. The original Showtime airings and the DVDs contain a near-constant stream of strong profanity. Expect to hear the f-bomb and many of its derivatives in every episode. The characters are often selfish and make poor decisions. A lot of Burtonesque dark slapstick, too. One character was (and probably still is) a drug addict.
That said, this is a great show with very well-written characters. It hits a perfect balance between comedy and drama and is worth viewing for any TV enthusiast.

Though I really like the show, there's always some sort of profanity, like F-bombs; definitely not for anyone 1-11, even 1-12, unless they are mature and you know they won't use the language. One of the characters (Mason) is a drug addict and alcoholic. The amount of sexual activity in the show is usually kept at a minimum, but in some episodes (Pilot, for instance; the first episode in season 1) there is supposed or noticeable sexual exchange. Some deaths are graphic, but usually, there is minimal or no blood. Overall, the show is good for mature people.

Very very very good.
The show is appropriate for teenagers because all there really is, is language. They say the 'F' word several times per episode and if that bothers parents so be it. There are very few sex related things. In the first season, a spirit is naked, but nothing explicit is shown except the pubic hair is kind of shown. At an airport, a man is accused of hiding drugs in his butt so the airport people searh him and he pulls his underwear down and his butt is not really shown. This show is on showtime which can be more explicit but this show is one of the better. It is very dark and can be sad for some people but other than that I reccommend this to everyone.
