    Too-chaotic 'toon follows villains' mostly harmless antics.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    The show isn't intended to be educational, just entertaining.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    There's no real attempt to teach specific positive messages. None of the main characters' rather iffy behavior results in realistic consequences (though the outcome is often, contrary to their hopes, positive). For example, their attempt to rob a bank is foiled by their accidental capture of a big-time thief.

  • Role models:

    The main characters are all technically "bad guys" who come up with plenty of nefarious plans, but their schemes often end up causing good instead. Kids are often portrayed as spoiled and demanding; in one segment, for example, a whiny young girl cons her dad into giving her a prototype superhero suit.

  • Violence & scariness:

    Lots of typical consequence-free cartoon violence, including collisions, people getting crushed by slamming doors, long falls, and firepower.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Some female characters have voluptuous curves and large breasts, wear short skirts, and talk flirtatiously with men to manipulate them.

  • Language:

    No cursing, but some characters occasionally use "butt" -- as in a young girl's declaration that she will "kick the butt" of anyone who tries to carry out evil plans.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The League of Super Evil

Parents need to know that this cartoon's frantic pace and flashy visual images won't do grade schoolers' attention span any favors -- and they make it virtually impossible for younger kids to follow the thin stories. There's also a fair amount of cartoon violence (collisions with heavy objects, laser blasts, etc.), but its unrealistic nature and lack of resulting injury keep it light and non-threatening to youngsters. While the show centers on the main characters' ongoing quest for evil infamy, the stories are silly enough that kids won't be fazed by that aspect of the content, either.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the media's messages about crime and criminals. Kids: What did you think about the characters' actions in this show? How would you compare them to real-life crimes? How do their consequences (or lack thereof) compare to those in the real world?
  • Do you think shows like this make too little of iffy behavior? Why or why not?
  • What other shows have you seen that put a funny spin on people doing wrong? How do those stories compare to the ones here?

    Great show

    This is one of my favrote shows it has a lot of violence. One of the characters have bad luck so he gets hurt a lot. It should be good for 6 year old to watch.
