Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this '90s sitcom focuses on a group of people working at a Nantucket airport who, over time, become one another's family. The show explores the bonds of friendship, love, and loyalty between them. There's some sexual innuendo, and some episodes deal with serious topics like infidelity and homosexuality. While these issues are addressed within a humorous context, they may be inappropriate for some younger viewers.
