Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that even though this series features witty writing and sharp animation, the characters may leave a bad taste in some parents' mouths because they conduct themselves so poorly. Kids are rude and disrespectful (to each other and to adults), and parents are clueless and often nowhere to be found. There's also lots of cartoon violence and regular use of words like "stupid" and "idiot."

Sexual Content

Rare, but not undeard of. For example, one segment features a silhouette of a naked woman.

Violence

Frequently glamorizes weapons like knives, swords, guns, and bows and arrows.

Language

Words like "stupid" and "idiot" regularly pop up in dialogue.

Social Behavior

The characters' actions -- particularly their tendency to use physical and verbal violence -- send iffy messages about how to deal with problems and other people.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Rare, but not unheard of. One episode features a chain-smoking waitress, and the customers drink beer.
