Talk:TV Parental Guidelines

Rating icons

Should rating icons' background should be white background, black writing or black background and white writing? tablo (talk) 18:54, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

White on black is standard. GraYoshi2x►^talk 22:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Can someone get another "white on black" icon that doesn't have area left over for subratings? It's quite bugging me. tablo (talk) 21:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I disagree; most content rating symbols I see have black text on white background. Sometimes I see transparent text on white background or semi-transparent text with semi-transparent border, other times I see white on black but it's not that common.

ABC rating icons

Looks like ABC sometimes uses Tahoma, and sometimes a sans-serif font that looks similar to Helvetica. Does anyone know what it is? tablo (talk) 03:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Rating for TV-B?

Why there is a such thing called it TV-B?--Jasonfitz (talk) 00:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

CMT

CMT uses a black rating icon with the lettering in Times New Roman and it's white —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.56.143.72 (talk) 03:53, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Examples

Having examples of all the appearances of ratings is extraneous and intricate. Perhaps getting rid of or slimming it down moderately could help? Omoder (talk) 21:35, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Conflicting dates

The lead claims the system "was first proposed on December 19, 1996 by the United States Congress, the television industry and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and went into effect by January 1, 1997", which seems insanely fast. The Development sections says "In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the United States Congress..." and the article for that act says "The Act was approved by the 104th Congress on January 3, 1996 and signed into law on February 8, 1996 by President Bill Clinton."

A few paragraphs down, the lead's date is used for an entirely different event: "On December 19, 1996, the industry announced the creation of the TV Parental Guidelines..."

Can someone familiar with this topic correct the discrepancy? Msgohan (talk) 22:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Why you put this there?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please DO NOT add any more examples of shows. We do not need a comprehensive or all-inclusive list of every show that broadcasts within the United States. This is not a place to promote your favorite TV show. Any edit doing so is non-constructive | and will be reverted. Thank you.

What the heck is this? Wikipedia is supposed to be The Free Encyclopedia, not Unfree. That ruins the magic of Wikipedia. Shkarter1985 (talk) 10:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

TV-G-L?!

I always thought it was TV-PG-L who put this crap? Matthew Cantrell (talk) 04:11, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Restricted vs unrestricted TV ratings

When did this restricted/unrestricted thing come up? No mention of it on the official site... tablo (talk) 23:29, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

nonsense

"Sex may be seen and completely visible or on HD" Aside from the fact that the syntax of this phrase is incomprehensible, where does it say that high def content is subject to a different rating than standard def? Bustter (talk) 18:31, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Am I correct on this?

TV rating color: Black = Kid-friendly? TV rating color: White = Material that may be unsuitable for children, adult programming? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BuddyBixby419 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

No. Either can be used, it's just a matter of which provides better contrast, or network preference. No systematic differences. oknazevad (talk) 20:48, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Industry Video Programming Rating System

In the last sentence of the last paragraph of the section titled "Development of the guidelines", "Industry Video Programming Rating System" is capitalized, indicating that it is a proper name. However, the name "Video Programming Rating System" does not appear anywhere within the referenced FCC document. HankW512 (talk) 03:38, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism

I have found vandalism on this page which has not been reverted.

Here's what I did to remove it: I reverted to the very old revision (see here). 99.121.209.170 (talk) 17:17, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
