| Message | Rex discovers that he prefers helping people as a firehouse dog than entertaining them as an overindulged Hollywood star. Shane has behavioral issues, but he and the captain finally communicate and work through their father-son problems. A female firefighter is a good role model: She's just as tough as her male counterparts but can also dress up in a fancy outfit. |
| Violence | A few flashbacks to the day a firefighter died and a couple of intense fire scenes that might frighten younger children, even though no one ends up hurt. A boy is stuck in a burning house with an arsonist. |
| Sex | The two fire captains, their kids, and their dogs all flirt with each other. Rex's original owner and manager hug and hold hands. A female firefighter wears a sexy gown that makes her colleagues stare. |
| Language | Basic PG curses: "suck," "crap," "jerk," "stupid," "dumb," "hell," etc. |
| Consumerism | Shane owns all of the following: Mac laptop, iPod, PSP, Play Station 2, Tony Hawk T-shirt, Green Day poster. |
| Drugs | A benefit gala includes a brief glimpse of partygoers drinking champagne. |
