New York Goes to Work (VH1)
common sense media says
More of the same iffy stuff from VH1's reality "celebrity."
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this series -- which follows reality show veteran New York as she tries a variety of viewer-chosen jobs -- has some funny moments, the overall messages about doing anything for fame and money are troubling. As per usual, New York also wears a lot of tight, revealing clothing and uses plenty of salty language ("hell," "bitch," "ass," etc.; "s--t" and "f--k" are bleeped). Expect strong sexual innuendo and references to alcohol, too. Bottom line? This is guilty-pleasure TV intended for adults.
Positive role models:
New York shows little interest in exhibiting a good work ethic; she frequently flips out and seems only motivated by cash.
Violence:
The jobs aren't violent, but New York screams and yells a lot when she's overwhelmed by a difficult task. She's also shown throwing up after seeing rats.
Sex:
Frequent, strong sexual innuendo. The opening credits feature an animated New York wearing short shorts and tight shirts, with watching men and dogs engaging in some lewd behavior. When not in a uniform, New York sports a lot of skin in real life, too.
Language:
Plenty of strong language. Words like "hell," "bitch," "piss," and "ass" are frequent, while stronger choices ("s--t," "f--k") are bleeped.
Consumerism:
The logos of the companies that New York works for are clearly visible on vans and uniforms. Employees refer to company names frequently. The whole series is also a promotional vehicle for New York herself.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
References to drinking.

NOTHING SATISFYING ABOUT NEW YORK!
This show is a complete joke. I cant believe I wasted 5 mins. of my life watching this show. First off, Ms. New York is a foul-mouthed, ungreatful, and extremely disrespecful person. I cannot believe anyone would actually send the text to pick her next job. It cost $1 plus your standard text messaging rates. I would much rather donate $1 to a charity or someone who is starving in a 3rd world country. This lady doesn't need to be famous anymore than the woman who had octuplets not to long ago. Actually both of those two are alike in many ways...... The main one being they are the UGLIEST human beings on the inside. For the hope of God please do not make a 2nd season it would be a good waste of expensive film and money paid to the filming crew! I could think of a million different things people could do with 30 mins. of their lives that is worth more than watching this terrible show! I only hope is that New York has one more show....called "New York Goes AWAY!"
