Age 10+Sex talk, drinking, nudity in live-action sitcom.
Parents need to know that The Big Bang Theory S9 E2, "The Separation Oscillation", 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 sex & hookups (moderate, in dialogue). Sexual content is mild but includes Mandy says, "Oh, no, did I sleep with you, too?"; Amy says, "Whose bra is this?". Some mild language appears in the dialogue. Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — Leonard says, "Oh, we didn’t screw around. We just got drunk and made out".
