What parents need to know

Parents need to know that teens won't glean many positive messages from this brand-heavy reality show that largely continues the antics of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Social drinking and sexual innuendo play heavily in the proceedings, and the girls sometimes overindulge to the point of illness, memory loss, and poor decision-making. They also speak frankly about sexual matters, spouting sentences like "It's so obvious she wants her vajayjay" and "I do not need to see someone's balls if I'm not boning him." Obviously, the language in general is pretty salty, with bleeped swearing and audible insults like "bitch-ass whore."

  • The show sends teens negative messages about drinking and partying, even though the sisters are old enough to imbibe. It also glamorizes the sisters' high-rolling lifestyles and sets some unrealistic beauty standards.
  • The sisters aren't all bad -- they run a successful business and seem to have a pretty genuine relationship. But their after-hours behavior and occasional lapses in judgment leave a lot to be desired. Kourtney, the older sister, tends to be the voice of reason.
  • Not applicable.
  • Lots of sexually charged kissing and "hooking up" in bars and clubs -- and, in one instance, Kourtney kisses a bisexual girl she met in her art class. The girls also throw around sexual terms like "butt plug," "vajayjay," and "balls," and Khloe interviews a "sex expert" on her radio show.
  • Words like "ass" and "bitch" are audible and are sometimes combined into insults, as in "bitch-ass whore." Stronger words -- like "f--k," "s--t," and "c--k" -- are bleeped.
  • The girls' Dash boutique (where a dress can cost as much as $500 or more) is heavily promoted, and about half of the action takes place in the store. They also drop cash for luxury brands like Jaguar, Porsche, and Christian Louboutin shoes.
  • The girls (who are both of legal age) frequent bars and clubs, do shots, and often overindulge -- sometimes to the point of vomiting and/or not being able to recall how the evening ended. In one episode, Khloe finds a vial of cocaine in a dressing room and brings it to work. But as a result, her radio show is suspended, and she's forced to take a drug test.

What's the story?

In KOURTNEY AND KHLOE TAKE MIAMI, West Coast sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian move east to the "Party City" to open up a new branch of their upscale Dash boutique. Their sister, Kim, makes an appearance from time to time. But the focus is mostly on how these stylish sibs balance business matters with their busy social lives (they party a lot) -- and Khloe's side career as a late-night radio talk show host.


Is it any good?

 

Trying to force a spin-off from a show that wasn't that good to begin with might have seemed like a good idea to producer Ryan Seacrest. But for most viewers, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami will be a lukewarm guilty pleasure at best. The show's thinly veiled attempt to drive traffic to the sisters' pricey boutique is practically transparent, and they're ultimately not that interesting to watch.

It's a shame that the Kardashian sisters' party-hard lifestyle -- and the iffy behavior that comes along with it -- takes away from their more admirable qualities. They clearly have at least some degree of business savvy, and that's a great thing for teen girls to see. But Kourtney and Khloe seem far more interested in clubbing, shopping, and acting up for the cameras -- and looking impossibly fabulous while doing it.

What families can talk about

  • Families can talk about how drinking and partying are portrayed on the show. What are some of the real-life consequences of drinking too much? Do those consequences seem to apply to the Kardashian sisters?

  • Do you think the Kourtney and Khloe (and sometimes Kim) you see on the show are really being "real"? Are they playing up drama for the cameras, or is a case of what you see is what you get?

  • Are Kourtney and Khloe positive celebrity role models? Is one a better role model than the other? How does their headline-grabbing sister, Kim, stack up?

  • Why are the Kardashian sisters famous? Do you think they deserve the publicity they get? How could a show like this help their business grow?

12 and older, it's not like they dont hear or see things like this while they are at school...
I love this show... and I'm 13. E! is basically my life and I watch it all the time, almost every night I fall asleep to it too. I don't think the show is that bad but I might just say that because it is my favorite show along with Keeping up with the Kardashians. I have been watching it since I was 11 or 12... I cant remember my friend introduced me to E! and now I cant stop! IM ADDICTED!

Don't like reality shows but, LOVE the Kardashians!!!!
There are possitive messages. Kourtney is a responsible mother who doesn't drink very often and puts family first. And to say that the Kardashians are "playing up the drama" isn't fair. Granted we don't know that 100% of it is real but, I would say a good 95% is reality. Give them all a break. They aren't the worst role models a kid could get but, there's not a perfect role model either. This show is entertaining for most ages!

Too many swearwords. My mom is watching it right now & I heard them say "What the h**l happened?". I told her, singsongy, "I heard them say the h-word!". Don't even think about watching this show. Kourtney and Khloe are just two dumb troublemakers.

Awful!
This show is absolutely awful and trashy, and yet I cannot keep myself from watching it. Nearly everyone on the show has no intelligence. No one acts smart. It would be one star, but it gets the second one for being a guilty pleasure.
