Prince of Peoria

Some painful pranks, as when Emil hits Teddy in the groin for a "turkey tap" or a girl slaps a classmate's face for saying something she didn't like. No lasting injury or malicious intent.

Teddy's crush on Sydney causes him to stumble on his words around her and look longingly at her from afar. Innuendo and misunderstandings hint at topics like masturbation; in one scene, Emil mistranslates Teddy's intent to stay home from a party by telling Sydney that he would rather "stay in his room and play with himself." Slang terms for genitalia, such as "walnuts." References to graphic drawings in a high schooler's locker. Regina is attracted to Joosep, who seems oblivious to the crush.

Parents need to know that Prince of Peoria is a sitcom geared toward tweens that centers on an unlikely friendship between an industrious American teen and his fun-loving prince-in-disguise exchange student. Many aspects of the teen experience as seen in entertainment exist in this story; classmates crush on and date each other, there's innuendo and double entendre (including one instance that hints at masturbation by suggesting a character will "play with himself"), mild teen rebellion, locker room-style skirmishes (a towel fight and "turkey taps" to the groin), and social classes in high school. It's also mentioned in passing that a supporting character has two moms, and that a main character is still getting past the death of his father. The fact that Teddy has big goals for his future sometimes becomes the punch line of jokes at his expense, but it doesn't deter him from his passions.
