Mild to moderate sexual jokes on occasion, no nudity. A woman masturbates beneath the covers in one episode, making moaning and screaming noises.

Mild

One of the characters treats another main character like trash and mentally abuses him throughout the series (used for comedic affect.) Comedic violence, no blood or gore.

Profanity

Mild to moderate profanity. On rare occasion there may be a single "F" word, though this is strictly taboo. "Bloody" is used several times in almost every episode.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Severe
11 of 20 found this severe
Heavy drinking and smoking throughout the series mainly for comedic affect. No drugs. If anything, the drinking and smoking should be the worst concern to parents/guardians.

Very few if any. If there are, they are for comedic affect.
