Starveillance (E!)
common sense media says
Biting claymation satire skewers puffed-up celebs.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this celebrity satire may look like it's for children since its characters are animated clay figures, but it's definitely not kid material. Skits make merciless fun of celebrities' foibles, mishaps, and personalities (as projected and reported on by the media). Jokes about race, eating disorders, religion, mental illness, and more are at the heart of the show's biting humor. Sexual innuendo/situations, silly violence, and drug and alcohol use are no strangers to the show, either.
Violence:
Some hitting, slapping, and fistfights between clay figures -- all in the name of humor, of course.
Sex:
Rampant sexual innuendo, occasional sexual scenes (in claymation!). Some flashes of clay flesh, kissing, etc.
Language:
Mild expletives, like "ass," "bitch," and "whore."
Consumerism:
Brand names are sometimes used (Starbucks). Many of the parodied celebs are slammed for materialism, etc.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Possibility of drug and alchohol use, though not common. Jokes about crack use and prescription drug abuse.

Good Adult Cartoon, Nothing Like Ellen's Acres Though :(
Starveillance is a great (adult) cartoon, not for preschoolers (I preferred Ellen's Acres and Homestar Runner for them) and 6-11 year old kids (there are a lot more programs (like Homestar Runner, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Catscratch, Ellen's Acres, etc.) that they can be watching), but it's worth it. Some mild content in there, it's worth a go for teens and up by the way.
