Why We Rated This for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  Despite being driven by somewhat larger-than-life personalities and circumstances, the show celebrates creative energy and places a value on both persistence and taking things in stride. In one episode, for example, star Jeff Leatham wants a specific flower but can't track down enough of it. He and his assistant keep trying to find it, but when their efforts are eventually exhausted, Leatham doesn't blow up -- instead, he makes things work with what he has.
• Role models:

  Leatham is very creative and generous with his time, but he's also a little clueless about how hard his assistant has to work to make things happen. When things go wrong, he works with what he has rather than blowing up or having a temper tantrum.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Not an issue.
• Sex:

  A couple of references to a flower arrangement or setting being "sexy" -- in one case, in relation to a honeymoon.
• Language:

  "Hell" and "damn" are audible; stronger words are bleeped, but you can tell what some of them are (including "f--k").
• Consumerism:

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

  Some social drinking at parties, etc. Also several comments to the effect of someone needing a drink after a hard day or when about to face a difficult situation -- but the actual drinking isn't shown, and it's hard to say whether the people making the comments actually followed through or were just saying they needed a drink as a way of expressing their frustration.
