What is G-Rated?

[Prower KitsunE]

Sorry if this is a stupid question to some but, I wanna know the exact restrictions of G-Rated. Of course one thing people have in mind is "No cussing" but I saw a show that had the rating G on it, with cussing on it. So I wanna know what exactly are the restrictions of G-Rated.

Rated-G means you should not use any words or phrases that would be inappropriate in a Childrens Disney Cartoon from 15 years ago. See http://tms.ecol.net/movies/ratings.htm for a more exact definition.

Before it was played did it say (insert rating here) For some mild peril and rude humor? When i watched Barnyard (yes. lol.) It said that. But are you sure you mistaked it for "PG"? (Parentol Guidence)

Just a side note, my brother was watching "The Proud Family" during the episode when Penny was a superstar or something and they used a pretty bad word at least 4 times in a row. I was shocked because this was Disney Channel! Odd how sometimes words can slip through the cracks.

I have schoolage children. Obviously I'm a little more lax in things I allow my teenage son to watch than what I would allow my kindergarten daughter to watch. Basically, when I am looking at posts to determine if they are appropriate, I think to myself, "Would I let my kindergarten daughter say that?" If it is something I wouldn't allow her to say/hear, I assume it's inappropriate.

discussions about mental illness or disease that may be inappropriate for children.

So what discussion about mental illness or disease is appropriate for children?

Yeah things that are PG now, would have been rated R like 30 years ago. I mean look at Caddyshack, it was rated R!
