TV Ratings

When you block a content theme for a a specific rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well. For example, if you want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out higher ratings.
