Well, even though I am not 15, my mom says I can watch it, but she doesn't like it when I do. This is a ROTFLMAO show! (Don't ask what that means just try to figure it out :)!) Lanuage is a no no! As well as sexual behavior. Parents watch an episode, you will see that Michael, the main character is so stupid that it can drive you insane. Episodes vary in drinking and bad role models! My advice? Watch one and you will get what I'm talking about!

Families Can Talk About

Should it be?

This is a really good show! It is so hilarious! It is a little inappropriate, but not enough that tweens shouldn't watch. This is one of my favorite shows!
