Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the family in this long-running animated series lives in a lower-middle class Texas community where men drink beer, gossip, and watch TV. The humor satirizes and glorifies life in Texas and is geared toward adults. Hank does try to teach a moral lesson to Bobby whenever something goes awry, which could provide topics for discussion -- but there are better programs for kids to learn from. Teens with mature humor will enjoy and "get it."

Sexual Content

Luanne is bursting with hormones, as are other cast members. Some innuendo and references to pornography.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

"Jackass," "hell," "bastards," etc.

Social Behavior

Hank is the upstanding citizen in his community, but everyone else is bound to misbehave. The characters' sometimes-questionable stances on issues are mined for laughs.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The men drink beer whenever they can pull the cooler out of the garage. Dale is always smoking. Illegal drug use is alluded to but looked down upon.
