There's always a good moral in every episode of the series. Whether it's fighting for what's right or finding out who your friends really are, good messages are present throughout the whole "Proud Family" series. When you put the rude humor, innuendo, and the good values together, everything equals out making social behavior "not an issue". This show has a presumable target audience of kids 7-12. If you have kids in that age group, you should check out "The Proud Family". It currently airs in late night on Disney Channel and in daytime on Toon Disney. (Both channels are available in HD.)

I've seen a couple of episodes, and it was just okay. I like that the roles are almost all minority characters, but there were some racial jokes about Caucasians -- I don't like racial jokes about anyone, so I'd say watch it *with* the kids.

THE PROUD FAMILY-- an anmated riff on FATHER KNOWS BEST, only with an African-American family at the center-- is good fun. But more than one episode I've caught with my daughter has been ruthlessly commercial... not in the usual overt sense (no product placements that I've seen, e.g.), but more subtlely. E.g., one episode's plot revolved around file-sharing, and Penny Proud's relationship with a character named Morpheous. Penny falls into his thrall and began to partake of file-sharing, though her parents reprove her ("file-sharing is stealing"). But then, in true sit com form, Penny sees the error of her ways, banishes Morpheous from her life, and apologzes to her parents in a soliloquy on the evils of downloading that might well have been written-- and may well have been written-- by the Corporate Affairs Dept. at Disney. This episode took 28 minutes and 50 seconds to watch with my daughter-- and 90 minutes afterwards to discuss. I appreciate Disney's stake in intellectual property rights, and honor it. But I do not appreciate so blatant an overstatement of that case (users DO have rights), especially not masquerading as the moral of a sit com.

I love the show, because it teaches lessons in life and I recommed that every single kid of all races should watch this show.
