What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this car-oriented reality show pits wannabe car builders -- many of whom come from troubled backgrounds -- against one another for a shot at a job with a prestigious auto body shop. Despite the show's competitive nature, team members are generally polite and supportive of one another. Arguments pop up occasionally as personalities clash, but problems are generally worked out in a positive manner. The host promotes a strong work ethic and models passion for his work. Moderate profanity is common ("ass," "screwed," etc.), with the strongest words bleeped.
Violence:
Some heated arguments. Background information touches on one trainee's life as a gangbanger, including getting shot. Some trainees have had parents die, and they talk about it occasionally.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Frequent moderate profanity like "ass," "sucks," and "screwed." Occasional bleeped words.
Consumerism:
Car brands like Ford are mentioned frequently.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some trainees smoke, but it's rarely shown. Some trainees' past struggles with drugs and alcohol are mentioned.
