Titan Maximum (Cartoon Network)
common sense media says
Animated sci-fi parody is coarse, campy adults-only fun.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this animated parody from the creators of Robot Chicken of early sci-fi kids' shows like Thunderbirds is aimed more at the adults who watched the original programs than at today's young viewers. Like the earlier shows, Titan Maximum centers on a group of daring heroes -- but in their down time, these heroes are rude, crude party animals. They drink to excess, swear like sailors, sleep around, and bicker with each other. Consequently, the show hass plenty of swearing, drinking, drugs, and sex, as well as some fairly explicit animated violence. It’s funny, but for grown-ups only.
Positive role models:
The members of the Titan Maximum team indulge in constant unsavory behavior when off duty (drinking, casual sex, etc.). But they're also willing to risk death to save the world from giant robots and other improbable foes.
Violence:
Several scenes feature close-ups of gory violence, including heads being blown up, people being stabbed, etc. Though the show's animated style makes these scenes seem less real, they do include gobs of blood and guts spilling from various body parts. There are also plenty of animated battle sequences featuring giant robots, blasters, etc. These clashes are noisy but not especially intense.
Sex:
Numerous, explicit references to sex and sexuality. One female character dresses provocatively and is very clear about her desire for frequent coupling. She's derisive about another woman who's more selective and much more chaste. Some scenes show the animated characters kissing ... and imply much more. Characters often make explicit references to sex, including one who
wants to “cornhole some Martians” and another who hopes to get a
glimpse of some “side boob.”

glimpse of some “side boob.”
Language:
Frequent and crude, including “dick,” “ass,” dumbass,” “butt,” and “a--hole,” as well as some creative insults that won’t alert network censors but will probably raise parental eyebrows. Also expect frequent use of the middle finger.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some characters drink heavily and are shown drunk, sometimes to the point of vomiting. Several scenes are set in bars and nightclubs, featuring plenty of liquor.
