Hulu's 24/7 reality program woos teens with interaction.
Parents need to know that this earnest online reality series -- which features five twentysomethings trying to break into the entertainment industry -- connects viewers with the show's website that streams nonstop footage of cast members at home. Sometimes this means viewers can see young adults in underwear, towels, bathing suits, etc. Viewers are strongly encouraged to participate in the show, including communicating directly with the show participants, through various online social networks and interactive methods like instant messaging and texting. Advertisements for products and services from Sephora, Sprint, and Comcast are embedded in each episode, while links to the product websites appear on the screen. Watch for the kind of raw language and drinking that usually accompanies reality shows like this.
