Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • A man fights with his family to the point where his wife and two sons leave him. One of the sons may or may not be real, the show never explains it, and this sends the man into insanity and alcoholism to the point where he trashes a bedroom and lies in a child's bed, hungover with a bottle of booze gripped in his fist.

Profanity

  • Some silly name calling like "nerd", "creep" and "mean ol' drunk", no swearing.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The whole plot of this episode deals with alcoholism and a man losing everything he loves over booze. Bottles of booze are seen, the words "drinking", "drunk", "down the hatch" and "waste not want not" are said and the character Jerry is a possible anthropomorphic personification for booze.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • This episode isn't very scary, but it's very disturbing and sad and could frighten younger viewers.
