U.S. TV Program Ratings Chart
The TV Parental Guidelines has seven levels of age-
based ratings that can be selected. These seven levels
are split into two age-based groups:
youth age-based ratings and guidance age-based
ratings. Some of these age-based ratings can also
have content-based ratings, denoted as D (dialogue),
L (language), S (sex), and V (violence). The table
below shows the age-based ratings selection.
