TV-Y (All Children)—designed to be appropriate for all children, especially ones ages 2–6.
Programs rated TV-Y are not expected to frighten younger children.

TV-Y7 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
violence (FV).

grams have little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual situ-
ations.

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).

children under 14 years of age. Such 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: graph-
ic violence (V); explicit sexual situations (S); or crude, indecent language (L).
