  • Series is designed to entertain, not educate.
  • Underscores the positives (and entertainment value) of children’s insight and imagination.
  • Garrett clearly likes to goof around with children, but also encourages them to be polite, respectful, and to try new things.
  • Kids sometimes throw things or pull other stunts, but they aren't violent. Some kids get frightened or surprised by some of the pranks.
  • Some plays on words (like “picking up chicks”) that will go over the heads of most young children. Pranks sometimes deal with dating, and jokes sometimes deal with underwear.
  • Not applicable.
  • References are made to popular TV shows like Glee, films like E.T., and talk show hosts like Tyra Banks. Many Los Angeles locales, including Skooby Hotdogs, Carneys, and Universal Studios are sometimes prominently featured.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this family-friendly reality series offers some funny scenes involving interviews with and pranks involving children. Some jokes contain mild sexual innuendo, political commentary, and other adult-oriented references that will fly over the heads of young viewers. Mentions of popular TV shows, movies, and celebs are also frequent. Some of the pranks may spook very young kids, but overall it’s pretty tame.
