Not appropriate for anyone anymore.
I did love the show until Neal used God's name in vain. I have banned this show from our house.

Perfect for Teens
I LOVE this show. Its a great show for teens, and isn't TV-14 like CSI or NCIS. Its very clean, good entertainment.

 
Great score in my book!
I absolutely adore this show. I've watched every episode since it aired (i heart tivo) and the only "sex" i saw was when a girl visiting Neil pretended she was there having sex with him, but it was a cover to hide that she was visiting "something else" (spoiler!). There is no outstanding language use that comes to mind, and little to no violence. The only thing I can even think of to "keep in mind" is that it does "glamour-fy" theft. Just make sure your kids know that while the IDEA of being a classy, art-stealing guy sounds fun, its certainly not a career option

Not really a show for kids, but great for tweens and up
Entertaining, funny, exciting, and a lot more kid friendly than most crime shows. There is occasional swearing, but not so much that it’s a problem. White Collar has a lot less violence than most crime shows, but still not something for young kids to watch. All in all I think it is an awesome show and would recommend it for anyone over 10, as long as it held their interest.

It's like Catch me if you can, all over again!
Well, the only thing that would disuade me from saying it's on for kids is the fact that Neal broke the law. He was in prison and although being released legally, it just shows children they can do what they want, and then everything will be fine. But otherwise the show is very good. The main cop characters are very well portrayed as to not be 'bad' or 'crooked' cops, and there isn't too much sex or language.

When I looked at ratings for this show I noticed that only kids had reviewed it. As a parent, I'm always more interested in what other parents think of a show. Our whole family has watched White Collar since it's first episode. My youngest child is a 12 year old girl. The show is entertaining and has interesting characters. The FBI agent's marriage is often a topic in the show and portrayed well. The characters are honorable. The "bad" guy isn't really so bad and is actually quite likable. The show is mildly funny and there are twists in the plots to keep viewer interest. As family shows go, this one is a keeper for our family. Even my husband will watch it and enjoy it and he generally prefers DVDs of Gunsmoke and Hawaii Five-O more than current shows.

 
Added Open Homosexuality and More Sex in Summer 2011
In the summer of 2011 it started to go downhill with open kissing and affection between homosexual's partner's -- then Neal gets hot and heavy after giving up on Kate. I feel like the tone changed much more sexually and am not sure we are going to continue watching.

Great show with nothing iffy :)
Even though Neal is a criminal, he becomes friends with the person he believed to be his enemy, Peter. Their friendship is rocky sometimes when they both have trust issues (with each other), but in the end they really want to help one another. Unlike other crime shows, this one does not feel the need to show people making out or talk about sex all the time. It's kind of a refreshing change, it makes it easier to watch with your parents. I find homicides to be a common and absorbing topic on TV, but White Collar makes fraud, theft and cons very interesting.

Super!!!
GREAT show!! Almost my favorite (besides burn notice). It has superb actors, and it is better than any cop show i have ever seen. I can honestly not find anything wrong with it.

White Collar is great, and family friendly. There i almost no violence, as Neal has proclaimed on several occasions, "[he] [doesn't] like guns." Also, the only sex that can be implied to occur is between Peter and Elizabeth, who are married. There was one episode when Alex, (Neal's partner in crime while he was trying to steal the music box) where she pretended to be about to have sex with him, but that was just to disguise the fact that she was there about the music box, so that Peter wouldn't get suspicious.There is occasional minor swearing, but it is rare. Additionally, although Neal is a criminal, Peter's influence is making him less and less of a criminal, and more of a good guy, and his changes are obvious as the series progresses.

I really, really love this show.It's one of the four shows I never miss. The charcters are great and the dialog is awesome. I also love the bond between Peter and Neal.It's entertaing and amusing to watch. They trust each other and are good partners and boarding on good friends. The only issue I have ever had with the show is in the episode the episode Books of Hours. they used God's name in vain by saying GD. However, it was a mob boss using the term and based on the 'regular' charcters history for swear words I think it was probably a one time thing simply for that one charcter.

It really is unlike any other cop shows. And, let's face it, it's really hard to dislike Neal and Mozzie despite their "dark criminal past". My mum and I are completely obsessed with the show, mainly because Matt Bomer is just ABSOLUTELY HOTT.

DON'T Watch!!!!!! AVOID!!!!!!!
This show is lame, pointless, and should have not come on int the first place.

I Can't Complain
I love it. What can I say? The dialogue is snappy and the characters are fun. The plot is refreshing. I'm loving every minute of White Collar so far. The fact that Matt Bomer is absolutely adorable is just an added bonus.

Good enough ..
Great entertaining show .. Till now there is no signs of sexual obvious implied contents. The chemistry between Neal and Peter & the one Neal has with Mozzie are one of a kind .. The show basically for non-educational purposes, so whoever is watching it should know that there are some limits being crossed. For example, Neal is a criminal who mostly works illegally. The bottom line, is that the show is entertaining enough for me and any mature teen.
