Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that casual sex is the catalyst that jump-starts this sitcom about an unmarried female character in her 30s who gets pregnant and admits that, on more than one occasion, she didn't use protection. The show's jokes are heavy on sexual innuendo and body part humor, but language is mostly curse-free (although you will hear words like "hooker," "porn," etc.). There's also some social drinking. and a secondary character uses marijuana (off screen). The main role models are flawed but generally positive as they try to step up and act responsibly.

Sexual Content

The show's premise is based on the main character getting involved in a one-night stand that leads to pregnancy, but nothing too graphic shown. You can expect lots of innuendo, sexual banter, and jokes about everything from body parts to masturbation.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Some sexually charged terms like "robot porn," "nipples," and "hooker."

Social Behavior

Although the show's premise is based on casual sex, overall it's about making the best of a tricky situation and stepping up to responsibility.

Consumerism

Some casual references to brand names, like Skittles.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Characters occasionally drink to the point of cloudy judgment. A secondary character is assumed to smoke marijuana, though he isn't shown doing it.
