Mr. Iglesias

Parents need to know that Mr. Iglesias is a sitcom about a beloved history teacher named Gabe (comedian Gabriel Iglesias) who's now working at the school he grew up attending. Positive messages about education and educators are strong and clear: Teachers care about their students and go the extra mile to help them succeed, demonstrating teamwork and communication. And both students and teachers are treated with respect and dignity. That said, some jokes may border on iffy topics or send mixed messages about drugs, alcohol, sex, and gender roles. The principal is an older woman whose lack of romantic success is depicted as being funny to others; there are lots of jokes about her dating profile and prospects. Other jokes circle around alcohol (it's said that the principal will be in a better mood with a "pitcher of appletinis in her"), pot (Gabe jokes that he'll eat "not real Mexican food" Chipotle because he's "high"), or sex (Gabe tells another teacher interested in a colleague not to put his "fry in her ketchup"). A few characters, such as the principal and her officious second-in-command, are somewhat stereotyped, but the cast is diverse in terms of age, race, ethnicity, class, and body type. Language is infrequent, but expect to hear "hell," "goddamn," "damn," and "dumbass."
