Featuring great songs -- almost all written by Nat himself -- and a likeable cast of youngsters, the series is truly family entertainment.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this series picks up two years after the The Naked Brothers Band Movie. Because much of the material is inspired by the real-life group of friends who star in it, tweens (especially boys) will find a lot that parallels their own experiences. The show has friendly "pranks" (like rigging a bucket to dump water on a boy's head), short-lived (though heated) verbal arguments, and some adolescent sexy-ish references. On the positive side, each episode showcases the stars' impressive singing and songwriting talents.

Sexual Content

A fair amount of innuendo for a tween-targeted show. Mild flirting scenes highlight the awkwardness of young love. One female character wears very short skirts and skimpy, midriff-baring tops. Alex has a crush on a babysitter.

Violence

Injuries are sometimes played for laughs. For example, after a light fixture falls on an obnoxiously loud man's head, he's shown covered in an abundance of ice packs and gauze bandages. There's some slapstick-type humor, too (i.e. crotch hits).

Language

"Oh my God"; name calling ("booger," "jerk") is common.

Social Behavior

Although overall the series celebrates the friendships within the band, the characters' individuality, and their love of music, there's plenty of iffy behavior -- from pranks and strong flirting to arguments and name calling.
