TV-Y (All Children)—designed to be appropriate for all children, especially ones ages 2–6.
Programs rated TV-Y are not expected to frighten younger children.
TV-Y7 (Directed to Older Children)—designed for children ages 7 and older. Programs rated
TV-Y7 may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the development skills needed to
distinguish between make-believe and reality. Such programs may include mild fantasy and comic
violence (FV).
TV-G (General Audience)—likely to be considered suitable for children of all ages. Such
programs have little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual
situations.
TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)—contains material that parents may find unsuitable for
younger children. This type of programming has one or more of the following: moderate violence
(V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).
TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned)—contains material that many parents will find unsuitable
for children under 14 years of age. Such programs have one or more of the following: intense vio-
lence (V); intense sexual situations (S); strong, coarse language (L); or intensely suggestive
dialogue (D).
TV-MA (Mature Audience Only)—specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore
may be unsuitable for children under 17. Such programs have one or more of the following:
