Psychic mom knows all on reality series about quirky family.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality series -- which follows the matriarch of a close-knit Long Island clan who also happens to be a psychic -- emphasizes the importance of family, even if they sometimes drive you crazy. Mary's quirky relatives are all loud and opinionated and can sometimes be a bit off color, but there’s not a lot of swearing or sex. Mary herself has some boundary issues, but she always means well. Expect some social drinking.
Positive role models:
Mary loves her family ... and also feels entitled to have her say, even though her kids are now grown adults (and they don't always appreciate it when she butts in). She’s well-meaning, but she often crosses boundaries -- as when her psychic gifts provide her with keen insights into the lives of complete strangers and she feels compelled to jump into their conversations.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Some references to people seeking romance.
Language:
Little stronger than "fricking" is audible, but other words are bleeped.
Consumerism:
Occhino is often seen at work in the studio hosting her radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio. The network and her show are frequently promoted by name.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some social drinking.
