Factory

Plenty of verbal teasing and the occasional barroom brawl -- fights generally take place off screen, but the characters' many unpleasant-looking cuts and bruises tell the tale.

No sexual activity or nudity, but plenty of talk about sex, often in crass and sexist terms. The four male protagonists are clearly very interested in having sex -- but less interested in maintaining healthy relationships with women. Some are unhappily married and complain often about their wives. One lusts after a distant step-relative who's moved into his house and sometimes discusses his graphic fantasies about her.

Plenty of swearing. The four main characters regularly insult each other and their coworkers, using words/phrases including "douche bag," "dick," "ass," and "sack." They also talk incessantly about "getting laid," with some references to "banging" and other colorful terms.

A fair bit of drinking at parties, etc. Sometimes being drunk leads to rowdy behavior. A few references to taking drugs. One character says she abuses Ritalin and jokes about selling it for recreational purposes to school kids. She later makes light of its effects, seeming to condone the idea of driving while intoxicated.

Parents need to know that this sitcom glamorizes immature and selfish behavior. The four main characters spend most of their time complaining -- about their jobs, about their coworkers, and most of all about women. The ones with wives or girlfriends whine about their unhappy relationships, the single ones bemoan their lack of girlfriends, and all of them wish they were having more sex. There's plenty of scheming (which usually includes crass and sexist language) as they try to find ways to get women into bed, and they often treat women as sex objects. Drinking plays a big part in their social activities, and, perhaps not surprisingly, in their efforts to meet women.
