common sense media says
Blue-collar comedy star's sitcom falls flat.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this sitcom finds its humor in the family life of a blue-collar American couple facing everyday marriage and job-related issues. The husband's troubles with his boss, the couple's communication failures, and the financial and emotional fall-out for a woman being a stay-at-home mom are typical household conversation. On a positive note, once they're done arguing (which is always played for laughs), both partners try to understand each other's needs and vow to improve their communication.
Positive role models:
The parents show a deep desire to improve communication and respect for each other, and they always put their children's needs first. Some characters reflect stereotypes about the South.
Violence:
There's the occasional rough-and-tumble fistfight, but it's strictly for laughs, and no one appears worse for the wear.
Sex:
Some implication of sexual encounters to come, but nothing more than kissing is shown. Husband and wife sometimes discuss past sexual partners in teasing tones.
Language:
Characters say "damn," "suck," "hell," "butt," and the like, but pretty infrequently.
Consumerism:
Brandless soda, beer, and junk food sometimes show up.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Adults drink beer once in a while, but never in the presence of kids.
