parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that there's not a whole lot in this "celebreality" show that's "good" for kids to see, although Shayne's attempts to repair her brother and father's fractured relationship is admirable. Sexual innuendo is pretty common, and there's also some censored nudity to watch out for (the kids' mom, in a menopausal hot flash, takes her top off in front of the refrigerator, etc.). Commercialism -- in terms of the family's efforts to boost their own careers -- is pretty obvous, too, but for the most part, it's kept on a low flame.
Positive role models:
Some family members are generally positive role models, but others -- including the parents, who are supposed to be in charge -- leave a lot to be desired. The siblings seem to have a genuinely loving relationship, although relations with their parents can be strained.
Violence:
Some verbal sparring and heated arguments.
Sex:
Some sexual innuendo/discussion and occasional blurred/censored nudity (as when Mom takes her top off during a hot flash). A.J. and his father are estranged because A.J. was rumored to have had a sexual relationship with one of his father's ex-wives.
Language:
Bleeped swearing ("f--k" and "s--t) plus audible words like "B.S.," "vagina," "dick," etc.
Consumerism:
Some visible logos (including Diet Coke and Budweiser). The show is also an obvious promotional vehicle for the actors' flagging careers.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Adult characters drink alcohol, with occasional overindulgence.
