What Parents Need to Know
About Weird, True and Freaky
Parents need to know that, overall, this docuseries emphasizes shock value over education -- while there are some scattered opportunities for families to learn about animal behavior and science, they're usually overshadowed by the greater factor of curiosity. The amount of over-the-top/iffy content varies by episode, but it's safe to say that sensitive young viewers might be disturbed by scenes of mutant animals (a cyclopic piglet and a dog with no front legs, for instance) or stories of animals eating humans.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether they think this show takes advantage of its subjects. Does the fact that they're animals make it different than if they were human? Why or why not?
- What other types of entertainment are based on people, places, or things that are different from the norm?
- Do you enjoy comedy that pokes fun at certain races or socioeconomic classes? Why or why not?
