Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this classic sitcom is intended solely for the purpose of goofy entertainment. Some positive themes resonate throughout (cooperation, resourcefulness, optimism), but there's very little here in the way of educational substance. Ginger's occasional use of sex appeal to manipulate her male island-mates may teach unwanted lessons about the power of physical appearance as a bargaining tool. Arguments on the show can be heated, though they're usually ridiculous and comic rather than serious and abusive.

Sexual Content

Lighthearted sexual tension exists between some of the men on the island and Ginger, the bombshell movie star. Specific body parts are never mentioned, but there are references to her appearance ("dangerous curves," "36-24-36"). She also occasionally pours on seductive charm to manipulate the men.

Violence

There are aggressive (though silly) arguments, with some references to physical violence and slapstick humor such as punching or slapping.

Language

Social Behavior

The show's characters come from very different backgrounds (though they're all white -- the only non-white characters tend to be "natives") and are forced to find ways to cooperate in order to survive. They make the best of their situation, using the island's natural resources in ingenious ways to create many of the comforts of home. Despite many setbacks, they maintain hope of being rescued and keep an optimistic outlook.
