ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance cautionary information to parents about the content of movie and television programming.

The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This gives parents discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.

Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language), S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence).

When programming contains any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen.

A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen for about fifteen seconds at the beginning of a program and should be repeated at the beginning of the second hour of a long

program. It may also appear when returning from commercials. There may be other instances when these icons will be displayed

as well. Parents are encouraged to become familiar with these icons and their meanings.
