common sense media says
Sitcom features strong women ... and subtle stereotypes.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this sitcom about a recently divorced woman who's attempting to rebuild her life has a good bit of sexual content (including references to
“screwing”) and some iffy language (“damn," “suck," “ass”). Infidelity is a major theme of the show, and some of its humor is based in race and gender stereotypes -- though the lead character is ultimately a strong, independent woman. Adult characters are shown ordering and serving wine, cocktails, and mixed drinks.
Positive role models:
Sherri is a strong, independent woman and a good mother. She and her friends/co-workers are very supportive of each other. That said, other characters definitely have their flaws -- including Sherri's ex, who cheated on her.
Violence:
Sherri constantly talks about wanting to kill her ex-husband and face his girlfriend, but most of the confrontations are pretty mild. One episode features an adult child being whacked on the head by his angry mother.
Sex:
Some sexual content, ranging from men and women making out to references to “screwing." Sherri’s ex-husband had an affair.
Language:
Words include “suck," “ass,” and “damn." Characters sometimes refer to others as "ho" and being "gay."
Consumerism:
Verbal references to various brands/pop culture icons, like Oprah and Quiznos.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Wine, cocktails, and mixed drinks are sometimes visible.
