What Parents Need to Know
About The Othersiders
Parents need to know that even though the ghost hunters on this show are young (they range in age from 13 to 16), there's nothing juvenile about their chilling experiences at the reportedly haunted buildings they visit. Young and sensitive viewers may get scared by scenes of apparent ghosts moving in front of a camera, eerie voices picked up by recording equipment, and the cast's palpable fear. Older tweens and teens may find this same content thrilling, but the show will leave parents with a lot of unanswered questions about the reality of the teens' supervision on their late-night quests.

Exciting for tweens, but obvious for older teens.
I like the show, but the people they picked as "the five friends" have different ages all over the place. Tweens (Like me) and teens will realize these people are actually hired because I know most tweens and teens would be friends with people their age or a year younger than that. I enjoy this show, and the experiences in it. Younger kids shouldn't be watching this. But, please Cartoon Network. Reality shows? Didn't you notice the name of your channel is CARTOON Network?
