Parents need to know

Age 10+

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

Parents need to know that Seinfeld S4 E16, "The Shoes", 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 sex & hookups (joke or passing mention, in dialogue). Sexual content is mild but includes relationship, I think, is that each person has their own sexual time-table; GEORGE says, "<Jerry nudges George to sneak a peek at Molly's cleavage as she bends over and looks in…". Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — ELAINE says, "Bouchard's, on 53rd. <George starts choking on his wine, and attempts to tell Elaine…".
