C—Programming intended for children under age 8: Violence
Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to themes which could threat-
en children’s sense of security and well-being. There will be no
realistic scenes of violence. Depictions of aggressive behavior will
be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary,
comedic, or unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There
will be no offensive language, nudity, or sexual content.
C8+—Programming generally considered acceptable for chil-
dren 8 years and over to watch on their own: Violence
Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred,
acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; or encourage children
to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any
realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low
intensity, and will show the consequences of the acts. Other
Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity, or sexual
content.
G—General Audience: Violence Guidelines: Will contain very little
violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to
themes which could frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic
scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of vio-
lent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive
slang, not profanity, and no nudity.
PG—Parental Guidance: Programming intended for a general audi-
ence but which may not be suitable for younger children. Parents
may consider some content inappropriate for unsupervised viewing
by children ages 8–13. Violence Guidelines: Depictions of conflict
and/or aggression will be limited and moderate; may include physi-
cal, fantasy, or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines:
May contain infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive lan-
guage. Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.
14+—Programming contains themes or content which may not
be suitable for viewers under the age of 14: Parents are strongly
cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing by preteens
and early teens. Violence Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of
violence. Could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a
realistic fashion. Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of
nudity and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profani-
ty.
Adult: Violence Guidelines: May contain violence integral to the
development of the plot, character, or theme intended for adult audi-
ences. Other Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and
explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex.

G (General)—Programming intended for audiences of all ages.
Contains no violence, or the violent content is minimal or is
depicted appropriately with humor or caricature or in an unrealis-
tic manner.
8 ans + (8 + General)—Not recommended for young children:
Programming intended for a broad audience but contains light or
occasional violence that could disturb young children. Viewing
with an adult is therefore recommended for young children
(under the age of 8) who cannot differentiate between real and
imaginary portrayals.
13 ans +—Programming may not be suitable for children under
the age of 13: Contains either a few violent scenes or one or more
sufficiently violent scenes to affect them. Viewing with an adult is
therefore strongly recommended for children under 13.
16 ans +—Programming is not suitable for children under the
age of 16: Contains frequent scenes of violence or intense violence.
18 ans +—Programming restricted to adults: Contains constant
violence or scenes of extreme violence.
