Usually Okay—…The interesting thing about this show is that it portrays a troubled young man realistically - someone who is striving to be a better person and yet sometimes comes undone or falls back on old habits. Something we can all relate to. I certainly recommend it.

Avoid—I liked this TV show at first but the star of the show is [within the show] having sex without being married. In love with a women who is engaged and occasionally does drugs.

Usually Okay—I am a minister [and] the shows I watch on the one TV Channel that I have is JAG and The Guardian. Jag is getting old but it is still pretty good. Now concerning The Guardian. It is a good show compared to what is on TV … that includes the rest of the channels that I do not have. The only issue that I have with the show at this point is sex. That is, sex before marriage, which is a sin. Considering our sin cursed world, I am thankful that the show has discreet sex, to say the least. The show is real and has heart. I pray that the shows producers do not sell out for higher ratings and make it so I and other sin conscience Christians can not watch it. I am not a parent but I would suggest that the show is for teenagers to Adults.

Usually Okay—Unfortunately, Beck's observation was incorrect in Nick Fallin's “hitting” on the gay teen. While I don't necessarily agree with the story's portrayal of placing the teen into the care of a homosexual couple, I would have liked to have seen the story instead portray a “Christian” couple or a couple who loved the teen, in spite of his sexual orientation.

Avoid—I was appalled at last nights show. Nick is hitting on a 16 year old gay teenager that he is assigned to and then encourages him to stay with a gay men couple instead of what the court says or his mother. This is supposed to continue on next week. Unbelievable! (Jan 2, 2002)

Usually Okay—Did you watch the same show I watched? Nick did not hit on the gay teenager. The teenager hit on him, and Nick quite clearly rejected him and did his duty as the boy's “guardian”. There is no indication that Nick is gay, anyway. I have seen the first five shows and he has slept with women only (two, so far).

Usually Okay—I have been watching this show since it premiered on T.V. I really enjoy it. I hope they don't cancel it next year. There isn't many shows I like to watch anymore. (Dec. 28. 2001)

My husband and I have been watching this show since the premier and now we look forward to every Tuesday night so we can see it again! I'm not sure it would be for small children, however, I don't believe there is much questionable about the content. Check it out --- it's "date night" for us!
