Sitcom's risque content makes it iffy for young teens.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the hormonally charged young adults at the center of this sitcom engage in plenty of sex-related talk (terms like "getting some" and allusions to recent sexual encounters are common). You can also expect make-out sessions and partial nudity (women in bras and lingerie and, in at least one scene, an obscured side view of a naked man). Little is off limits when it comes to sex, and the characters' romantic relationships are often rooted in physical attraction rather than affection. None of this is likely to surprise most teens, but parents will still want to follow up with their own take on responsible adult behavior.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Frequent sexual references and innuendo are a main source of the show's humor. Terms like "getting some" and "it's sex-o-clock" are common, as are insinuations of sexual activity. In one segment, for instance, a woman's roommates find soiled tissues throughout the apartment after she and her boyfriend had sex there. Partial nudity includes side views of a naked man (though his genitals aren't shown) and women in bras and lingerie. Couples are shown kissing and fondling in bed.
