I wonder why they never realised it would've been illegal


Tucker was 14, he is also in the same class as Mckenna so she must be 14/15, what's the point you ask, she was going out with then 25/26 year old Seth Green. The parents seem to have no problem with this and the whole town know yet their never ambushed by reporters.

yea i also wondered this

Me to, I have always wondered about this. I would have thought the parents would have said no way to this releationship, always found it werid that the parents had no problem at all with their daughter going out with a guy 11-12 older than her when she was only 14-15. My parents would have killed me if it were me!

Well, seth's character in the show is this really trustworthy guy, the parents are very liberal and while it IS a little..odd, seth has promised no sex until mckenna turns 18.As far as under-age kissing(is there such a thing?)that some people objected to,the actress who played mckenna was 20 when tucker was made.

It's quite normal these days for 14 and 15 year olds to go out with men 10 times their age.

if you were a 14 year old girl going out with a man ten times your age you would be dating 140 year old!?

In the first episode (I think) Tucker asks Seth the same question and Seth says he's talked to McKenna's mom about it but apparently she didnt seem to mind because it was always Seth who brought it up. Also Seth said that he didnt believe in premarital sex.
