Parental Controls
8
Restricted An R-rated motion picture contains some adult material. Parents are
strongly urged to nd out more about this lm before they allow their
children under 17 to accompany them. An R-rated lm may include hard
language, tough violence, nudity within sensual scenes, drug abuse or
other elements, or some combination therein. Parents are counseled
to take this rating very seriously. Parents must nd out more about an
R-rated movie before they allow their teenagers to view it.
No One 17
and Under
Admitted.
An NC-17-rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the MPAA,
most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and
under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean “obscene”
or “pornographic” in the common or legal meaning of those words, and
should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating
simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience.
An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior,
drug abuse, or any other element that most parents would consider too
strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.
NR/AO – Not
Rated
Programs created before the MPAA rating system have an NR/AO rating.
Also, if your Wally loses its connection with a satellite, movies will carry
the NR/AO rating until the connection is restored.
TV Ratings
The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board assigns ratings to all television shows except news and sports
programs, as follows. The guidelines contain information about the appropriate audience and appear in the upper-
left corner of the TV screen at the beginning of TV shows, and sometimes after commercial breaks.
All Children A TV-Y-rated program is designed to be appropriate for all children.
Whether animated or live-action, the themes and elements in this
program are specically designed for a very young audience, including
children from ages 2–6. A program with this rating is not expected to
frighten younger children.
Directed
to Older
Children
A TV-Y7-rated program is designed for ages 7 and above. It may be more
appropriate for children who’ve acquired the developmental skills needed
to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in
a program with this rating may include mild fantasy violence or comedic
violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7. Therefore, parents
may want to consider the suitability of this program for their very young
children.
Directed
to Older
Children
(Fantasy
Violence)
A TV-Y7-FV-rated program has fantasy violence that may be more
intense or more combative than TV-Y-rated programs.
General
Audience
A TV-G-rated program is one that most parents would nd suitable
for all ages. Although this rating does not signify a program designed
specically for children, most parents may let younger children watch
this program unsupervised. It contains little or no violence, no strong
language, and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.
