Adults.

Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely

violent scenes.

Viewers 16 and over.

Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains

frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.

13+ (Viewers 13 and over)

Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This

program either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to
affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children
under the age of 13.

8+ (

Viewers 8 and over

)

Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most

audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the
company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not
distinguish between reality and imagination.

G (General Audience)

This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or

any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a
caricature, or in an unrealistic way.
