Parents need to know that although this series deals with teens on their own for the first time, it's relatively tame when it comes to drinking, adult language, and sexual activity. But it does contain a good deal of sexual innuendo and relationship drama that may not be appropriate for younger viewers. And some of the messages about those topics are confusing or potentially destructive (like when a character pushes up her breasts before going to meet a man she likes, saying "rise and shine, girls, we've got work to do").
Positive messages:Mixed messages -- characters lead generally moral, straight-laced lives, but gold-digging and other stereotypically female behavior is used for laughs without being critically examined.
Violence:Some jokey talk about beating up a woman of whom the main character is jealous.
Sex:One character in particular makes many sexual comments. One show deals with main characters' decision to have sex. Frequent innuendoes.
Language:Occasional mild swearing ("ass," "hell") and some sexual talk.
Consumerism:Current R&B/hip-hop star performs briefly in one episode.
This show is accually really good! I love Kyla Pratt, and she is so funny in this show! The idea is fun, and they carried it though great! Wonderful show for kids ages 11 and up!
The main thing to be concerned over when it comes to this show is that it has very racist humor--the show focuses on African-Americans basically using their own kind of (dumb) humor against themselves...another major concern is that the show's very boring and pretty stupid.
