The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell

Violence is frequently talked about and implied but hardly seen. The most extreme it gets is someone bringing an axe to a tea party, or Edgar (a giant dog-bear-type beastie) putting his hand over a man's mouth and carrying him away.

Sexual content is limited to innuendo, but there's a lot of it, including a reference to BSDM and other sexual practices.

There's no profanity, and the show uniquely goes out of its way to use sophisticated word where vulgar ones would be expected (i.e. "sex" is "fornication," "poop" is "feces," etc.)

There's no drinking, drugs, or smoking outside of some wine glasses appearing at a dinner party.

Parents need to know that The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell is a light horror-themed cooking show where McConnell makes her "creations" (mostly elaborate and creative desserts) for the puppets she shares a house with and guests. The show embeds its cooking lessons within thin plots where the creatures -- puppets, operated by Henson-trained actors -- come into conflict with each other and the guests. The creatures make a lot of violent threats, but that violence doesn't ever come to fruition, and though the show has other adult elements, like a lot of sexual innuendo, it also takes extra care to not cross the line into vulgarity. The desserts that McConnell makes are extremely advanced and labor-intensive, but are also very inspiring -- even for less-skilled viewers.
