Exactly that...

Thanks!

I would! Obvious mentions of boobs and bums and drugs but I don’t remember anything too bad in it?

LampHat · 02/04/2024 14:19

I do love it and.I’d let them watch it, but I probably wouldn’t watch it with them!

tulipdoo · 02/04/2024 14:23

I watched it when I was that age!

No idea if it’s dated well? Not seen it in years but it was one of my favourites

Treatmewell · 02/04/2024 17:06

ok. That's good! I thought maybe it was a bit too up against the edge of not appropriate (masturbation, sex yada yada) but he LOVES it and I loved it, so am glad I'm not a totally negligent parent watching it with him

Godno. The cringe. (Theirs obvs)

I’m not sure it’s aged very well. There is definitely some ableist language in early episodes which made it uncomfortable viewing for me. Which is a shame as it has some good elements and I have fond memories of it first time round.

Haggisfish3 · 02/04/2024 18:34

Yes, I have done.

Treatmewell · 02/04/2024 18:36

I'd agree with the language @FourLeggedBuckers - but we discuss stuff that is out of date. We found similar when watching Modern Family. It was also outmoded in places.

@Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride ha! No, he's cool with it. He just laughs. I haven't noticed a massive cringe yet.

I wouldn't- thinking of the episode in season 2 with Nancy and Jed shagging. But I might let him watch it without me. We watch Friday Night Dinner here and thinking of starting Inbetweeners soon with our son (also 13)

singingthypraises · 02/04/2024 19:12

Jez not Jed! Spellcheck.

Skintdancemum · 02/04/2024 19:13

yes

Treatmewell · 02/04/2024 21:39

Inbetweeners is a good one! He watched Friday Night Dinner - I didn't like it.

No way - I wouldn’t be against them watching it but couldn’t watch the sex scenes with a child.
