What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series -- in which Joan Rivers and a panel of fashion-conscience celebs and stylists critique celebrity fashion choices -- is steeped in Rivers' unique brand of comedy, which includes lots of strong language (“bitch,” “ass,” “damn,” “whore," etc.), some strong (and sometimes crude) sexual innuendo, and references to drug use. Some of Rivers’ comments cross the line from being funny to being mean -- but by now, that's pretty much what we expect from her. High-end clothing brands and designers (Carolina Herrera, Prada, Donna Karan, etc.) are frequently mentioned.
What's the story?
In FASHION POLICE, comedienne Joan Rivers uses her trademark humor and off-color commentary to critique celebrities' fashion choices. The host shares the spotlight with E! news anchor Giuliana Rancic, singer/former Dancing With the Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne, and stylist George Kotsiopoulos. Together they dish about who they think are the best and worst dressed stars of week. Special award show editions of the series highlight the dressiest -- and the messiest -- outfits to grace the red carpet.
Is it any good?
This tabloid/talk show series mixes fashion with humor as the co-hosts share their thoughts about what they think looks good, bad, and just plain awful on well-known celebrities. The panel also highlights some of today’s biggest fashion trends.
There are definitely some funny moments, but Rivers’ unapologetically biting wit sometimes yields comments that cross the line from being funny to being unkind. Meanwhile, remarks about how much better celebs look when they're skinny also send some iffy messages. Overall, Fashion Police isn’t for everyone, but kolks who like keeping up with the latest celebrity style trends will enjoy watching.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about fashion. What makes something fashionable? Who decides what's fashionable and what isn’t? Do you think celebrities are under pressure to look fashionable at all times?
Shows like this one underscore the size of celebrities’ bodies and how their weight impacts the way they look in their clothes. What kind of messages does this send? How does this make you feel?

Funny but some bad words
She is a little harsh on some of the people with bad outfits but I guess thats one of the things that makes her so funny. She says some bad words too. Over all its a really good show. I like looking at those so bad they are almost funny outfits! :)

Where do you draw the line?
Let an over-processed geriatric teach us all to be bullies and materialistic.
Yup, I like looking at crazy outfits, but come on! We're in an age where kids kill themselves because of bullies; let's not support it without talking it out with our kids first!

NEVER
Go on Joan Rivers, get some more botox. Don't waste your time on this show. It's full of bad language and sexual talk. Of course they have there own opinion but trying to get laughs by calling people hookers is not what I would want to do. This has to much language and sex talk, please don't bother

It's a shame
I have watched Fashion Police even though almost every other word from Joan Rivers has to be bleeped. I won't be watching any longer, however, because of the sacreligious comment she made in the April 27 broadcast (about "Coco"). It's a shame that Joan does not realize that if you're truly funny you don't have to stoop to vulgarity and coarseness. It's a shame, because I like looking at the fashions and hearing the comments of the other panel members. I just can't take Joan's disgusting mouth any longer.
