None—programs that are either rated “None” or have no content advisory. Selecting this option will block all such programs.
TV-Y (All Children)—programs designed to be appropriate for all children, especially ones ages 2–6. These programs are not expected to frighten
younger children.
TV-Y7 (Directed to Older Children)—programs designed for children ages 7 and older. These programs 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 vio-
lence (FV).
TV-G (General Audience)—most parents will consider programs that are rated TV-G to be 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)—programs contain 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)—programs contain material that many parents will find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. These
programs have one or more of the following: intense violence (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: graphic violence (V); explicit sexual situations (S); or crude, indecent language (L).
