Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this long-running sitcom's subject matter is often mature. Episodes have dealt with divorce, single parenthood, infertility, and more. The topics are treated sensitively but with the irreverence befitting a sitcom. Premarital sex is depicted as the norm for dating relationships; there's also frequent drinking and some smoking. The characters, while flawed, are always there for one another and are extremely loyal when the chips are down.

Sexual Content

Plenty of sexual innuendo and jokes. Discussion of adult relationships. Nothing explicit on screen, though characters are sometimes shown in bed together. Kissing, embraces.

Violence

A humorous pratfall or slug here and there.

Language

Occasional expletives or name-calling on the level of "damn" and "bitch."

Social Behavior

There's plenty of squabbling, ribbing, and drama among the six main characters, but ultimately their relationships are solid, and they're always there for one another.

Consumerism
