Parents need to know

Age 10+

Nudity, sex talk, drinking in live-action sitcom.

Parents need to know that The Big Bang Theory S10 E16, "The Allowance Evaporation", 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 nudity & bodies (explicit, in dialogue). Sexual content is mild but includes Bert says, "Well, I really envy your relationship. Other than you two only having sex once a year,…"; Sheldon says, "Don’t Google that unless you want to see pictures of people’s genitals". Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — Howard says, "What, what are you doing? I, I, I schlepped the baby over, I brought imported beer. Why…".
