What Parents Need to Know
About Extreme Trains
Parents need to know that this informative, kid-friendly show explains just about everything there is to know about the modern railroad system. There's no sex or drugs or bad language, just trains, trains, and more trains. Many railroad companies are mentioned by name, and sometimes even specific routes that have historic significance.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about turning hobbies and passions into career choices -- as host Matt Bown has clearly done. Kids: What do you like to do now? Is there a way to make a career out of that? How does this show compare to other reality shows that focus on specific jobs? Why are these shows so popular today? Do you think certain types of jobs would be more interesting than others as the subject of a reality show? Do these shows go too far in glamorizing certain professions? Do you think working on a railroad would really be as interesting as this show makes it seem?
