Plugged In by Focus on the Family reviews the world of popular entertainment and gives families the essential tools they need to understand, navigate, and impact the culture. We equip families with Christian reviews of movies, TV shows, music, games, books, and YouTube channels. You’ll find award-winning articles and video discussions that spark intellectual thought, spiritual growth, and a desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8: “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.”

Truth Rising

The Focus on the Family documentary Truth Rising encourages Christians to live out their faith and stand firm in the truths upon which Western civilization is based.

Lucky Old Sun

No. 1 pop and country disc features the hit single “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven”

Cradlesong

Thomas’ second solo effort debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s album chart with sales of 122,000 copies.

David Cook

Prior to this No. 3 album’s release, “Light On” and “The Time of My Life” hit the Top 10.

Cougar Town

Cougars. North American wildcats? Or desperate, tacky women who prey on men half their age? Well, ABC certainly isn’t airing a nature documentary here.

Huge

Summertime. It’s all about fun, sun and sand, right? Well, not for everyone. For these kids it’s mandatory exercise, public weigh-ins and humiliation by bathing suit. It’s all in a day’s weight loss at Camp Victory.

Mercy

Think ER’s plotlines were romantically, emotionally and medically chaotic? Mercy! You haven’t seen NBC’s latest medical drama—complete with rampaging patients and an oversexed staff.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager

UPDATED REVIEW: This “new kind of family” show might just be called that because so many of its teen characters are starting families of their own.

Make It or Break It

UPDATED REVIEW: Life in the gymnastics gym is always a balancing act—literally and figuratively. And this show teeters right along with its characters. So does it make it or break it?

Good Luck Charlie

UPDATED REVIEW: The Disney machine cranks out another same-old-same-old sitcom that’s tween-centric and family-oriented, then uses it to break new ground when it comes to what those families look like.

Big Time Rush

UPDATED REVIEW: Is BTR a tribute to The Monkees? Or merely a JONAS rip-off? (Nickelodeon wouldn’t do that, would it?)

South Park

UPDATED REVIEW: Ever since it launched in 1997, South Park has been lauded for its biting satire and loathed for its wildly foul—and often blasphemous—content. It’s not mellowing with age.

Flashpoint

The Canadian import Flashpoint hasn’t exactly worked up enough heat to explode yet. But while it’s restrained on drama, it’s also restrained on content.

Two and a Half Men

Charlie Sheen left for one reason. Angus T. Jones left for quite another. Now fans of Two and a Half Men will have to leave too. Finally. And thankfully.

Undercover Boss

Ever wish your boss understood exactly what you go through? Now you can watch executives pretend to be new hires to find out what their employees’ work is really like—and how well they’re doing it.
