Flip That Restaurant (TLC)
common sense media says
Business-focused spin-off has some tense moments.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality spin-off -- which offers a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into flipping a restaurant -- isn't quite as mild as parent series Flip That House. The show focuses more on the high pressure associated with opening a restaurant than on the actual construction. Frustrated flippers are sometimes shown yelling and screaming at laborers, designers, and others working to complete the renovation on time. Some of these moments lead to cursing (words like "bulls--t" and "f--k" are bleeped out). The show is somewhat entertaining, but kids probably won't find it particularly exciting unless they're interested in construction or cooking.
Violence:
There's some yelling, screaming, and arguing when things go wrong.
Sex:

Language:
