What Parents Need to Know
About There Goes the Neighborhood
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.
