The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the reality spin-off Courtney Loves Dallas centers on the life of reality-celeb-turned-fashion-blogger Courtney Kerr. It contains some strong language ("douche bag," "p---y," "bitch,") and some stereotypical references about Asians and other groups that are intended to be funny. There are some sexual references and innuendo (plus partial glimpses of bare breasts and bottoms) and lots of drinking (wine, cocktails, shots).

What's the Story?
COURTNEY LOVES DALLAS is reality series featuring Most Eligible Dallas cast member Courtney Kerr as she pursues a career in fashion blogging. The Texas socialite quit her job and now spends her time immersing herself in the fashion world and writing about the latest fashion trends. She also models the samples designers send to her. When she's not working, she's hanging out with single friends such as Tori and Annie and, when possible, friends and new parents such as Katie and Thais. Throughout it all, she spends lots of time trying to figure out her love life.
Is It Any Good?
Courtney Loves Dallas centers on the life of the thirtysomething Courtney Kerr, who is struggling with being single while trying to build a new career for herself and keep her social life going. It also addresses some of the pressures women in the Bible Belt face when they do not make marriage and having children a priority.
It's definitely voyeuristic, and Kerr appears superficial and narcissistic thanks to being consumed by fashion, status, having fun, and finding romance. But, despite being self-absorbed, she lacks a larger-than-life personality. As a result, some might question why she has a show in the first place.
