Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that while the kids' mother and father are loving and attentive, they often garner laughs with their sarcasm, immaturity, and tales of occasional carelessness. This might turn off adults who want their kids to be exposed to Married... With Children, this show isn't nearly as envelope-pushing as its predecessor, but it still might raise some eyebrows.

Sexual Content

The parents and even their eldest child make sexual jokes. The oldest teenage daughter has called her parents "horndogs" and has a sexual relationship with her boyfriend. Strippers and pornography have cropped up from time to time.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Mild: Words like "crap hole" are used.

Social Behavior

The parents aren't much more mature than their teenage kids, offering questionable role models. But the underlying messages is that it's important to maintain family ties because you're always going to need your family to look after you.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Social drinking.
