Sex & Nudity

Mild
255 of 464 found this mild
Some sexual situations and references throughout the show. No nudity.
Haley squeezes her boobs in some episodes in order to distract guys or flirt with them. She also occasionally opens her shirt to expose her cleavage for the same reasons.
Claire is seen in her bra and panties a number of times through the series. Haley is also seen in her underwear a few times.
In season 7, Haley talks about breaking into one of Phil's empty open houses and using the bathtub. She says the tub had an intense jet feature and that it took her twenty minutes just to find her car when she was done, implying masturbation.
A few instances of partial nudity throughout the show, though it is always blurred and nothing is ever seen.
Gloria, Haley and some minor characters wear revealing clothes. They also wear bikinis throughout that barely cover their breasts and buttocks. Phil is seen in his underwear on a few occasions.
One scene features an accidental shot of a girl student's partially exposed buttocks in a classroom, it's nothing sexual and is barely noticeable.
Gloria wears tight outfits that reveal her cleavage and/or midriff in a lot of episodes.

Violence & Gore

None
287 of 335 found this to have none
Phil is hit in the face with a remote airplane, twice. He is later seen with a bloody broken nose. Played for laughs.
Some fights between Gloria and Dede.
Jay gets shot in the foot
In some episodes there is some blood for example nosebleeds and minor injuries. Nothing graphic.
All violence, if there is any, is played for laughs and does not result in serious injury to the characters.

Profanity

Mild
190 of 297 found this mild
"Fuck" is used a couple but is bleeped out, "fuck" is just the only one that is bleeped out.
Fairly frequent salty language used.
"Bitch", "whore", and "ass", as well as "damn", "hell", and "crap" are said intermittently. A few lesser-known slurs against homosexuals like "cream puff". In one episode, there are few bleeped out uses of "fuck" from a very young girl.
Some strong innuendos have been heard a few times but nothing too verbally graphic.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
202 of 265 found this mild
Jay is sometimes seen holding cigars (we never see him smoking them, although heavily implied that he is).
Throughout the series multiple jokes are made about how much wine Claire drinks. Claire is also seen drinking wine in almost every episode
In season 9 a joke is made by Alex saying that Claire likes to sometimes drink wine and smoke a cigarette in the bath tub to calm down.
In season 11 Cam makes a joke about an old family recipe and how he used cayenne pepper instead of cocaine.
In some episodes, characters get drunk, including a teenage girl. She does learn a valuable lesson from this experience however.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

None
246 of 281 found this to have none
Some family conflicts throughout the show, obviously nothing in terms of horror or disturbing violence
