Why We Rated This

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  The show makes light of the main characters' dependency on alcoholism and its impact. Drinky Crow is only mildly upset when his girlfriend leaves him because he won't give up drinking and eagerly hits the bars to soothe his angst.
• Violence:

  Though there's little fighting, some scenes feature extremely violent and graphic images that are inappropriate for kids. In one example, a character happily cuts out his own eyes with a razor blade.
• Sex:

  Though there's no nudity, some scenes show the animated characters engaging in some rather explicit sexual activity.
• Language:

  Not an issue.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  The two main characters spend much of the show drinking, talking about drinking, planning their drinking binges, and recovering from drinking. The show glamorizes drinking and minimizes its consequences. For example, the characters drink heavily while driving but walk away unscathed from a serious car wreck. That said, while Drinky Crow and his Uncle Gabby seem to be having plenty of fun, the show's animation style makes their alcoholic activities appear quite unappealing to viewers.
