OK. Really? Maple syrup, not beer. Do you thing a 5 year old knows what beer is? And if they are older, they know better! Gosh!

What Parents Need to Know
About The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
Parents need to know that this series is filled with standard cartoon violence like extensive falls, collisions, and fistfights. Occasionally, there's also unrealistic use of firepower; in one scene, a cannon fires children instead of cannonballs (the kids emerge unscathed). Flapjack's adoration of Captain K'Nuckles is disturbing since the captain is selfish, dishonest, and unkind and routinely encourages Flapjack to ignore Bubbie's motherly advice. The series does attempt to convey positive messages about good social behavior, but the lessons are typically overshadowed by the rest of the content and the show's chaotic pace.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about role models. How does the media affect our views of model behavior? Do you think famous people are held to a different set of standards than the rest of us are? Is that fair?
- Who are some of your role models? What characteristics do you admire in them? How would you feel if someone you looked up to did something wrong?

- I rate this title off for age 17 and give it
just stupid
Who ever heard of a child being adopted by a whale?! This reveiw just doesn't see the show for what it truly is, a get-rich-quick scheme for Cartoon Network. I think all of Cartoon Network's shows are ridiculous (aside from Pokemon, the only show on there that teaches children morals, shame CN didn't make it themselves) I perfer Nickelodeon to those morons at Turner TV any day. My point is, there's no plot to this at all, whatsoever in any of Cartoon Nitwitwork's programs. I put off for 17+ because there's no all ages selection
