Every show/feature has an overall rating. That overall rating may be accompanied by one or more sub-rating(s). This is to clarify some of the elements included in the content that a viewer may find objectionable or inappropriate for younger/more sensitive audiences.
Overall Rating System

Content is deemed appropriate for all ages. This does not necessarily mean that the content is only for children, but that it contains little to no violence, sexual content, or offensive language.
TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
