OK Show

Ice Loves Coco is not a show for your six year old to watch. Coco dresses revealing and shows her boobs a lot. bleeped language includes godd--n, f--k, s--t. "Boobs" is used about ten times an episodes. No violence but strong sexual content and some profanity makes it not a show for younger ones. Final rating TV-14

This title has:

Too much sex
Too much swearing
Too much consumerism

What's the Story?

ICE LOVES COCO is a reality show that follows rap artist and Law & Order: SVU actor Ice-T and his wife, online personality and model Nicole "Coco" Austin. The happy couple -- married for 10 years -- is always together and even shares a cell phone. While the rapper continues his career, he also supports Coco as she builds her own company, Coco's World, with the help of publicist SoulJee and assistant Sparkle. When they are not supporting each other on set or on modeling shoots, the two, along with their dog Spartacus, spend their time together having fun.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (1 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

The series offers an inside look into the close and very traditional married relationship between this seemingly untraditional pair. It highlights how much they love and respect each other, and how they support each other's careers in the entertainment industry.

The show's many voyeuristic moments, which range from following the couple as they look at $4,900 cashmere dog sweaters to watching Coco work out in high heels, are intended for older audiences. But it does send some positive messages about commitment and love.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about marriage. What makes a good marriage? Is it compatibility? Compromise? Other factors? Do you think viewers are getting a realistic image of what this marriage is like, or do you think it's being presented a certain way for the cameras? Is it healthy for couples to always be together, like Ice and Coco say they are?

  • Why do so many people agree to do reality shows about their personal lives? Is it for fame, money, something else?

  • Talk about Coco's penchant for wearing revealing clothing and high heels even during exercise. What kinds of stereotypes is she reinforcing, or challenging? Would you consider her a role model for young women?
