Parents need to know that skaters are seen slipping and falling in the footage of their practices leading up to the performance. Later episodes feature footage of bad falls, bloody scrapes, and large bruises. Occasionally, in the practice tapes, a skater mutters a mild curse in frustration. Some of the costumes are a little skimpy. After each performance the skaters are critiqued, sometimes severely, and scored by panel of judges.
Positive messages:Skaters have to cooperate to be successful and safe. They must work hard and practice lots.
Violence:Footage of bad falls, bloody scrapes, and large bruises.
Sex:Some skimpy, tight fitting, and short outfits worn by women. Contestants are described as "sexy."
Language:Occasional mild profanity such as "damn" when a skater falls.
It's okay, I like the idea with the celebrites and the professionals skating together. Basicially, if you like skating you'll like this. If you don't, you won't. Sometimes it seems a bit unfair though, because some have skated quite a bit when they were kids and others had never skated before. I didn't agree with the judges much of the time.
