Parents need to know
Age 10+Nudity, drinking, sex talk in live-action sitcom.
Parents need to know that Seinfeld S3 E2, "The Truth", is a live-action sitcom episode. The series is known for adult premises played dry — most of it goes over younger heads. Scores low: the strongest thing we found is nudity & bodies (joke or passing mention, in dialogue). Violence is mild but includes me I would have killed this man. I would have strangled the life out of him. Sexual content is mild but includes ELAINE says, "And ... I could really live without the tribal music ... and the make out sessions"; KRAMER says, "I, I saw her naked". Some mild language appears in the dialogue. Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — JERRY says, "Yeah, I know champagne, limos, cigars. WHAT happened to the papers?". Every flagged moment below is a direct quote from the transcript or a short description of what happens on screen.
