Parents need to know
Age 10+Sexual insults, language, drinking in live-action sitcom.
Parents need to know that The Big Bang Theory S8 E2, "The Junior Professor Solution", is a live-action sitcom episode. The series is known for more innuendo than the science jokes suggest, but rarely explicit. Scores low: the strongest thing we found is swearing (moderate, in dialogue). Some mild language appears — for example, Amy says, "Okay, good luck. And call me later, you know, if you decide she’s a bitch or something.…". This episode includes sexual insults — for example, Amy says, "I’m saying, in the spirit of science, what is that little skank’s problem?". Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — Amy says, "Tonight. You, me, Color Me Mine. Maybe we sneak in some Pinot, make it Color Me Wine". Every flagged moment below is a direct quote from the transcript or a short description of what happens on screen.
