  • Overview
  • Details
So what if her dad brought us "Charlie's Angels" and the family home is a modern-day Versailles? Tori Spelling just wants what we all do -- love and respect -- or at least that's the premise of this reality-based sitcom. Playing an exaggerated version of herself, Spelling tries to make it on her own merits in the town her father owned. Loni Anderson co-stars as Spelling's self-absorbed mother in this charmingly self-deprecating comedy.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this series is loosely based on the personal and public life of Tori Spelling -- rumors included. The humor is mature and sarcastic, and the dialogue is sexually suggestive. Tori and her peers have typical bored-little-rich-kid syndrome (long lunches, lots of possessions) but they bring it to life and poke fun at it using slapstick humor. Teens might be interested, but the material is adult.

Sexual Content

Sexually charged humor; Tori's roommate pretends to be a gay man trying to "break free" by sleeping with a lot of women; commentary on Tori's breasts (and whether they're fake or not); one episode includes scenes set in a sex-toy shop.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

"Damn," "hell," and the occasional "bitch."

Social Behavior

Tori has flashbacks that pinpoint her mom as the root of her problems today; Tori is on the hunt for a man who won't use her for her fame; characters have casual sex; Tori's mother is rich and neurotic; the Spellings' African-American nanny/maid is treated like a second-class citizen by Tori's mom. All derogatory/negative social behavior is intended to be funny.

Consumerism

Brand names, including Prada and eBay, are mentioned. Tori's parents live in a vast mansion filled with possessions; Tori herself lives in a relatively fancy condo, wears designer clothes, and drives a nice car.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some casual/social drinking.
