The Hills (MTV)
common sense media says
The Hills are hardly alive, but will appeal to teens.
parents & educators say
- 29% say sexual content is an issue
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series follows Lauren Conrad (graduate of MTV's Laguna Beach) as she transitions from her high school days to college life, an internship, and Hollywood nightlife. Cast members come from affluent families, which means that the characters' living conditions, cars, and lifestyles are unrealistic for average twentysomethings. The series makes getting a high-profile internship seem effortless. Lauren is a fairly level-headed girl, but she lets her new friends take advantage of her. The show's success has elevated the status of each cast member, and they're often featured in celeb tabloids.
Positive role models:
Many of the featured cast members come across as self-centered and spoiled. Cast members come from affluent families and take lots of things for granted. Heidi and Spencer started a rumor about Jason and Lauren that they
filmed a sex tape.
filmed a sex tape.
Violence:
Just lots of catfighting.
Sex:
Flirting, kissing, lovers' quarrels, talk of one-night stands and informal hook-ups.
Language:
There's some swearing, but the worst of it is bleeped out.
Consumerism:
Hollywood hot spots like Les Deux are regularly mentioned. Teen Vogue and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) are backdrops for school and internships. The ladies love their high-end fashion.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Drinking is implied, but the cast is underage (at least, they are at the beginning of the show...).

Drama! Moving! Fun! Laugh! Cry! The Hills has it all...
Lauren Conrad 'LC' proves that if you want something bad enough you can't just wait around for you've got to get up and chase it down until its all yours... Sometimes she lets her gaurd down with people too quickly but she has her life long friends to keep her grounded... I've been following this show for quite some time now and I want you to know it's a very moving experiance, ther's drama(like in everyday life), friendships being formed and lost, and of course more drama, but after all this time Lauren has taught me some very important thing to look forward to in life!

Parental Advisory: Mature Content, (be)careful children
Well, i gave it an iffy for 6-11 because it is never recommended to a 5-year-old. So Off for 0-5+ Iffy for 6+ On for 12+ OK Why does mom not letting jason watch E!, mtv, or spike or all that teen network until he's 13? ok but i let him watch MTV and or VH1. Should be on [adult swim](17+ swimming). Violence is not recommended for "The Hills" TV Show. There is one ---. ---ual Terms such as f--king, s--t, d--n, hell, ass, b---y, ---y, gut, oh my god, gay, svcky, s@cks, p--s, Richard, screw/f--k, hate, a-- hole, h*, b**ch, butt, and fr---in. They Go to Beverly Hills, goes on the playb-y and penthouse. They have Drugs in some episodes. No Messages. Both Bad and Good Role Models. would be on adult swim should be 12-13+. Doesn't mean it's a bad or a pretty bad show. It's Fine to the Best!

This show is definitely my guilty pleasure! I'll admit it was much more appealing when Lauren Conrad starred on it but I still love to sit down and watch all the blow-ups and cat fights. Its a captivating show just behavior isn't exactly what you'd call appropriate.

I loved
I really catch myself just waiting for the Monday nights to roll around. I have to admit though is that it is very dramatic! Things are always happening to the cast. I teaches you every day challenges and lessons. I only encourage this show to older teens due to some of the contient. other than that it is so awesome!

I think Laguna beach is slighty better than The Hills.
Some bits of The Hills is Fake and some bits is real.

This show makes getting in cat fights, drinking and sleeping around seem fun. When in real life its not. These Characters make bad decisions and have no consequences. This show is not good for Preteens or young teenagers.
