[quote=Anonymous]There’s definitely some inappropriate stuff. I think the bigger issue is whether the child can understand that the type of jokes aren’t appropriate for school - all the race and gender stuff. In some ways Michael Scott is a character that could not be done today because using racial/gender discomfort as humor isn’t really that acceptable because it’s sort of a covert way to continue to make the unacceptable jokes. An 11 year old may not be old enough to understand that and could get themselves into trouble. Also, I think it’s a totally valid family choice not to let your tween consume a lot of edgy/rude/irreverant media. My kid watches the Simpsons nonstop, but I totally get that his bestie’s family has a more conservative take on media consumption. We just happen to be a more edgy and funny family; but that’s not their culture, and that’s totally valid. [/quote]
