There Goes the Neighborhood (CBS)
common sense media says
Suburban "social experiment" gets pretty un-neighborly.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality competition -- in which eight suburban families, confined to their neighborhood by a large concrete wall, go up against each other for a cash prize -- features plenty of arguments and tense moments. While the series' content is generally okay for older tweens (there's a little bit of drinking, and words like “piss” and “crap” are audible, while those ike “s--t” are bleeped), it doesn't send the best messages about maintaining friendships and being a good neighbor.
Positive role models:
Some of the families turn on their closest neighbors during the competition. The families are upper middle class; the majority of them are
Caucasian. One family is of mixed racial heritage; another is a blended
family
