Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

Dinner is anything but a drag in this funcompetition. Drag Me to Dinner is comedic and chaotic, with creative dinner themes/foods. The hosts are a great line-up, bouncing between scripted sketches and genuine reactions. There's also a funny bit where the show informs the viewer of food terms and gives tips for making party food. The repeated swearing (bleeped and uncensored) sexual innuendos, and (playful) fighting make this more suitable for older teens.
