What Parents Need to Know
About The Secret Saturdays
Parents need to know that this series has plenty of the animated violence you'd expect from an action/adventure cartoon (explosions, fire power, fistfights, high-tech weapons), but it also has a surprising amount of positive content surrounding the family at its center. The superhero-like parents are patient with and respectful of their 11-year-old son, often expressing their love for him but at the same time setting clear rules to ensure his safety. The fact that he tags along with his globetrotting mom and dad on dangerous missions does seem to fly in the face of responsible parenting, but the show's tween viewers aren't likely to notice the contradiction in light of the action.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this show is similar to and different from other current TV cartoons. Does it feel more like older shows? Why or why not?
- Do you think the characters could resolve their differences in nonviolent ways?
- What legendary creatures have you heard of? How plausible do you think such stories are? Do you believe there are things in this world that science can't explain? Speaking of which, what aspects of science interest you? How do people use science in their everyday lives?

Great entertaining show for all ages!
It's action packed and at times humorous. The plot is certainly not intricate and some of the "mysteries" in the show are easy to solve. But the plot is still beleavable (if cryptids exsisted of course)! Doc and Drew kiss a few times in each episode but it's more cute love then something you don't want your kids to see. It's like an Indianna Jones cartoon for kids!
- I rate this title off for age 17 and give it
An adventure series that is NOT for kids
I do not like this show at all. Of course, all episodes have violence in it. Doc and Drew are the ones who get injured and it's all Zak's fault, and this James Bond meeting Indiana Jones show is nothing but violence. It also has kissing, which is small sex, but what is major is the violence. It also mocks James Bond and Indiana Jones. DON'T LET YOUR CHILDREN WATCH THIS.
