Parental ratings for TV programming is determined by broadcast and cable networks, on a voluntary basis. The current TV parental guidelines went into effect in 1997. The ratings vary from Y (appropriate for ages 2 and older) to MA for mature audiences only. Ratings are based on language, sexual innuendo/acts, violence, nudity, drug themes and much more.
