What Parents Need to Know
About Everybody Hates Chris
Parents need to know that the show's themes are too mature for younger kids. Chris's parents make empty threats when their kids get into trouble, but comments are portrayed in a comedic light and aren't meant to be taken seriously. There are jokes about drugs (becoming a "crackhead") and the "N" word has been used sparingly. There's also some mild kissing and jokes about teen pregnancy.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the kind of issues explored on the show versus those on more conventional sitcoms. How prevalent is the type of obvious racism depicted on the show? Are Chris's parents realistic about how they punish him? Can your kids point out what has changed, if anything, between the time in which this sitcom takes place and now?

Good Show
I love this show. The only reason why you may not want little kids to watch it is that there is a lot of racism. Considering that Chris is a black kid going to an all-white school, this should be expected. There are occassional swear-words in it, but nothing major and nothing that a 7 year old wouldn't have heard before.
