What Parents Need to Know
About Worst Week
Parents need to know that this sitcom based on the British show The Worst Week of My Life centers on an unmarried couple who lives together and is expecting a child. The series includes fairly frequent (though generally pretty mild) sexual references -- mostly people inferring that they'd like to have sex -- and some social drinking among adults (one instance of excessive drinking shows a woman throwing up on someone), but it's probably nothing teens haven't already seen. Expect some language ("ass," "bitch," and the like) as well.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the media promotes itself, particularly on TV. How do promos for upcoming series or episodes entice us to watch? How do these "hooks" vary among different types of shows -- like comedies, dramas, and reality series? Do you ever find you're bored watching a particular show? If so, what do you do? Families can also discuss the kind of laughs this show goes for. Is Sam's frequent humiliation funny or uncomfortable? Why?
