Sex & Nudity

  • The show mostly consists of discussions related to DNA, infidelity, and other sexual topics.
  • The sexual topics aren't discussed very explicitly, and aren't as bad as Jerry Springer, but can sometimes be frank.
  • Some suggestive outfits are worn by many of the women on the show, and these outfits usually reveal some cleavage.
  • The cleavage can be particularly strong at times, but no graphic nudity is depicted on the show.
  • Guests discuss having sex with partners and this is not as explicit as Jerry Springer, but is still quite frank and mature.

Violence & Gore

  • Several intense arguments occur between the guests on the show, usually related to personal matters.
  • Rarely does anyone fight on the show, but a lot of arguing and yelling occurs on the show, which can be intense for some viewers.
  • Arguments tend to get heated throughout the show.
  • Some guests react in very volatile and unexpected ways when confronted with a particular situation, usually by arguing or invading the other's personal space. Sometimes, off-stage, guests will get into some brief but tense arguments/confrontations. This show, while still intense and serious in its subject matter, comes NOWHERE NEAR Jerry Springer.
  • In one older episode, a little boy is shown threatening and making violent threats to his mother. These threats are disturbing, and include "I punch her, I kick her, I slap her", to refer to him beating his mother.
  • In the same episode, the boy insults his mother repeatedly and this is disturbing. Also, we see a young girl verbally taunting her mother.

Profanity

  • Some strong profanity is used in the show.
  • Whenever "fuck" is used, it is censored on television. (uncensored for the DVD)
  • "Bitch" "ass" and other words are uncensored but aren't frequent on the show. However, occasionally, these words are used by guests.
  • The show does bleep out words for satirical purposes, even if the word that's bleeped isn't profane.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some discussions of drug use occur on the show.
  • Some frank references and discussions of drug-related topics.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • While the show isn't as violent/intense as, say, Jerry Springer or Richard Bey, the show is still very intense in terms of the subject matter.
  • The confrontations that occur on the show are frequent and intense.
  • Many of the guests argue, and also confront each other in some intense and volatile ways.
  • The subject matter that is discussed on the show is very serious and mature.
