Forget the ratings this site gives it. It is a fun exciting show that encourages me to go outside and ride my bike or dirtbikes and have some fun. The ratings are very strange and you shouldn't listen to them at all. Watch this show and you'll be hooked.

What Parents Need to Know
About Nitro Circus
Parents need to know that, while this extreme stunt series isn't as crude as Jackass and its ilk, many of the tricks look so easy and fun that kids might be inspired to follow suit, which could lead to injuries. The show offers little explanation or commentary -- just shot after shot of young men (and they're almost all men) flying over ramps, shooting down precarious water slides, flipping their motorcycles, and doing any other crazy tricks they can come up with. Some are truly death-defying (leaping from a plane with no parachute), while others are just silly (rolling off a ramp on a wheeled office chair) -- but most end in spills and crashes. The group's surprisingly low injury rate is a testament to their skills, not a sign that kids will be fine if they follow suit.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about different kinds of TV stunts. Stunts are a longtime staple of action dramas, but they're generally carefully planned and executed with plenty of safety gear. But shows like this highlight stunts that seen to involve neither planning nor safety. Which looks more exciting? Why? Which seem more "real" or more dangerous?
- Are stunts more fun to watch if have more potential danger? Why?
- Does watching this show make you want to try some of the tricks? Do you think that's partly the point, despite the show's disclaimer?
