Why We Rated This for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

• Educational value:

  The show isn't positioned as an educational series, but viewers will learn lessons about acceptance and diversity.
• Messages:

  The show raises awareness about people with obvious differences without being preachy.
• Role models:

  Bill and Jen are open and honest about the challenges that their stature poses, but neither ever wallows in negativity about their circumstances. They're both successful professionals, and their struggles and joys in the early stages of their marriage will resonate with most couples.

What to watch out for

• Violence & scariness:

  Not an issue.
• Sexy stuff:

  Bill and Jen often kiss in front of the camera, and there's some rare insinuation of sexual activity. In one scene, for example, they glance knowingly at each other and say they're going to bed -- and in the next scene there's giggling in the background as someone hangs a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the hotel door.
• Language:

  Infrequent instances of "f--k" and "s--t" are bleeped.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  The couple -- and other adults in social settings -- often drink wine or other alcoholic beverages with dinner.
