Sitcom's humor is best for parents who can relate.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that sex is a hot topic for the women at the center of this sitcom, so references to frequency of sex, likes and dislikes in bed, and partners' sexual prowess are all fair game -- as is foreplay like kissing and fondling. Expect some drinking and a dash of salty language tossed into the mix. Although none of that will be new to teens familiar with primetime television,. the show's humor is definitely geared toward parents -- particularly moms -- so teens won't appreciate much of the content that's rooted in been-there, done-that experience.
Violence:
Accidents like a fall from a roof are meant to be funny, and injuries aren't shown.
Sex:
Sex is a hot topic for these three ladies, and their chats often bring up frequency, style preferences, and number of partners. Rosemary and Horatio allude to their own intimate history. Foreplay like kissing and fondling is shown, and terms like "get down on it" are often tossed in with casual conversation.
Language:
Infrequent use of "hell."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Adults often enjoy wine or other alcoholic drinks at dinners and parties -- or at home to relax.

Yes, this P/T writer's opinion, but writers can you not sqeeze humor into where little is?
I'm not condemning this series. Trying to recommend its writing/directing to hold however many are NOT compelled to give time lameness.
No, not the actors. They passed auditions then is up to production to attract viewing.
