U.S. TV programs ratings chart

The TV parental guidelines have 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 (dialog), L (language), S (sex), and V (violence). The table below shows the age- based ratings selection.
