Frasier: parents' guide

13+our pick

Best for ages 13 and up. Rated TV-PG.

A witty, grown-up sitcom that teens can enjoy with a parent, though much of the humor will fly over younger heads. Radio psychiatrist Frasier Crane shares his Seattle apartment with his blue-collar dad and bickers with his equally fussy brother. There is no violence and only mild swearing, but sexual innuendo is constant, characters chase dates and romance, and adults drink wine, sherry or beer in nearly every episode. Some jokes lean on stereotypes about gay men. The steady flow of sex jokes is the main reason we suggest 13, despite the TV-PG rating.

What's in it

Violence

None

Essentially none. There is occasional pushing or shoving, always played for laughs, and nobody is really hurt.

Language

Mild

Mild words such as damn and hell, plus plenty of insults and put-downs. No s-words or f-words are noted.

Sex and nudity

Moderate

Frequent innuendo and farce about dating and sex, and Roz's love life is a running joke. Couples make out and appear in robes or revealing outfits, and sex is implied but never shown.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Moderate

Adults drink wine, sherry, beer and hard liquor constantly, often as part of the jokes. Supporting characters sometimes smoke, and prescription medications come up but are not misused.

Scary or intense scenes

None

Nothing scary. Divorce, loneliness, aging and the earlier death of Frasier's mother come up, but always gently and usually with humor.

Worth talking about

Frasier and Niles often create their own problems through snobbery and overthinking. Ask your teen which characters really listen to each other and how that changes things.
