Drawn Together (2004) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual and relationship themes recur through Spanky and Xandir's sham marriage, Captain Hero's exploration of homosexuality, Xandir preparing to come out, and Clara's appearance on “Extreme Vaginal Makeover.” These are strong adult subjects, but the supplied evidence does not establish explicit sex or nudity.

Captain Hero amasses weapons after a burglary, Ling-Ling participates in cockfighting, Foxxy is taken captive, and a drunk-driving crash occurs. “Drawn Together Babies” is the strongest documented episode, depicting the housemates as children with a taste for murder; abuse of a special-needs character and medically fabricated illness add further cruelty.

No specific profanity or coarse dialogue is supplied for season two. Language is therefore scored absent in every episode rather than estimated from provocative titles or subject matter.

A drunk-driving accident drives “Charlotte's Web of Lies,” and Wooldoor develops an addiction to Crunch Berries in “Breakfast Food Killer.” Clara's compulsive attraction to car crashes is also framed as an addiction, though it is behavioral rather than substance-related.

The season uses Greek and Mexican stereotypes, progressive children's programming, special needs, Munchausen by proxy, gun culture, police bribery, the Rapture, foster care, therapy, and repressed memory as satire. Several plots involve exploitation or endangerment of vulnerable people, while “Lost in Parking Space” places characters in an increasingly desperate confinement scenario.
