Parents guide

Excessive discussions about sex throughout the series.

One episode involves a storyline centered around a computer webcam. There are verbal references to pornography, though nothing explicit is shown. The adult parent characters make suggestive jokes and imply sexual activity, but no sexual acts are depicted. Humor relies on innuendo and implication rather than visuals.

One episode shows two of the main female characters twerking.

Parents allude to sexual frolicking in almost every episode.

Dad and son admit to owning "pornos" without remorse.

Earlier in the show (1st/2nd/3rd?) Claire's friends had a pregnancy scare.

Michael and Jay are often shown becoming intimate with each other; Jay is shown occasionally dressed indecent at these times for television.

A lot of sexual references, including one from Junior ("vagina monologues").

One episode shows the oldest boy saying to his older sister to prepare to die.

A chef in one episode throws a shrimp at a man's head and he said he burned him.

Slaps and hits and threats are common in the Kyle household. Not bloody, but questionable.

God's name is used in vain multiple times.

"Shut up" is the most commonly repeated phrase on the show.

Occasional damn, hell, and ass used in certain different ways; sexual terms used such as "penis, vagina, boner."

Issues about drugs are discussed and dealt with maturely.

None with the exception of the occasional beer or drink had by Michael every once and a while.

While the show does not contain frightening or intense scenes in a traditional sense, the two main parent characters are occasionally shown discussing sex or making adult-oriented jokes. These moments may feel uncomfortable or inappropriate for younger viewers, even though they are played for humor. Most of the jokes rely on innuendo and double meanings, which are likely to go over the heads of children but may be noticeable to older kids, teens, or parents despite the show's TV-PG rating.
