A great show, funny and interesting

In the very first episode, Heather tells Duncan to "Get bent" which virtually means 'get laid'-- 'go have sex'. In a later episode, Heather's shirt gets torn off and Harold expresses his interest with "Booooobies". Not appropriate for children at all. What's this show teaching kids? That sex-insults are alright? It could be more subtle. This series was on a few years ago(I was about 17? 18? Now nearly 23), and while it's a decent show to watch when you're bored, it's definitely not for children. My opinion has not changed since then. If you want to air this, it should be later at night , way-early in the day, and NOT during the summer, when people under 18 are more likely to see it. There are very few good role models in this show, and that IS leaving out style, clique and genre. While (If I remember correctly) there is some drinking involved, they don't specify what it is..so I'm not marking that off. I'm highly surprised they allowed this back on Cartoon Network, and even more surprised with the time slot. Did I mention that one of the characters is extremely sexist?

Even though it is intended to be satire kids don't get that until they are much older. It references things that hopefully they aren't being exposed to in the mainstream media and if they are then it should not be reinforced here.

I don't see a shortcut icon for my main concern--behavior. This isn't just a lack of role models or teaching rude phrases. It's also whole sets of ways of interacting and stereotypes. My 7-8 yr old son has learned waaaay too much from it. By the time I knew he was watching it at a neighbor's, phrases from the show were regulars in his vocabulary. at that point the bes I could do was watch and discuss it with him. He was surprisingly receptive to this, probably because the ways characters treat each other is unlike anything he's encountered and he was a bit baffled.

I don't think that the sexual innuendo's and other behavior featured in this show is appropriate for 6-7 year olds.

language like hell and crap is used

I swear, every single negative review I see for this show is from some oversensitive parent/child who assumes that this show is intended for children. Seriously, to get after this show and say it sucks because it's not "age-appropriate" is like giving a horror movie a negative review for being scary. You're basically criticizing the show for doing its job! This along with every show made by them (6teen, Total Drama Action and Stoked) are not intended for kids. They were made specifically for teens/adults. If you actually let your kid watch this just because it's animated and was licensed by cartoon network, you only have yourself to blame. Obviously, you ignored the rating the show was given and did no research on it whatsoever, so it's partly your fault your kid was exposed to it. With that said, Cartoon Network executives did not make this show. It was made here in Canada and is shown on prime time here, clearly proving that it wasn't intended for kids. So if you gotta hate on the show, get after what really matters, like the humor or the characters, not whether it's appropriate for kids or not, otherwise you're hating on it for the wrong reasons.

i absoulutly love this show. however, i think this show would be more appropiate for teens instead of preteens or kids.
