Does the film itself offer any insight, Tim.

I believe that is just a general type rating used by the manufacturer. I always ignored them as there is a difference between the "general" G and the actual rating of TV-G. I would vote no on such a thing as there is no TV-G rating on the box.

Well that is the only thing I can personally come up with. At least the way I see it... no matter what it is... it is definitely not the official TV-G rating. So in my opinion it is still a wrong contribution as there is no TV-G rating on the cover. So it is definitely something I would always vote no to. To me... that is making up data that does not exist since there is no official "TV-G" rating on the box so it shouldn't be used.

whatever it is... it is something else.

That's an opinion. Thanks for that, but it doesn't mean "case closed" yet. Since nobody has been able to come up with a sensible explanation for what else it could be, this logo could still very well be conveying the same "TV-G" rating. I've seen ratings logo's come in different shapes and sizes before.

Again: I've seen ratings logos and symbols come in different shapes and sizes before. You're arguing backwards: you feel this logo doesn't match what you're used to exactly, and so you decide "well, it must be something else then" - ignoring the fact that there really isn't a logical explanation for what that "something else" could be. Certainly the "just a general type rating used by the manufacturer" guess seems extremely far-fetched. You also choose to ignore that the set doesn't carry any mention of "unrated" or "not rated".

I know what the TV-rating-logo's usually look like. I agree that this one looks a little different, and I never claimed otherwise - which is why I included an image in my original post. The fact is that the cover doesn't have a "not rated" or "unrated" banner, but there is this "G - General"-logo that seems to tie in with the "G - General" TV-rating. As of yet, that's the best clue I have. I'm still willing to go either way, but I just can't shove one of the options aside as easily as you seem to do.

I Never seen it leave off information though. Where this would be leaving of the TV part of the rating. The TV is part of the official rating as you can see here....

Isn't it just the movie Rating G instead?

Not exactly either, no. I'm guessing I'd get no-votes if I tried to change the rating from "Television - Not Rated" to "Film - G", too - especially as it's not a film, but a TV show season.

Yes it's a television production, but maybe the distributor of the DVD made a mistake and accidentally put the film rating on the back cover. On one of  the posters on the MPAA website the G rating is printed the same as on the cover of your contribution. Personally I think that Not Rated isn't the case either.

The symbol on the left is the Canadian rating, the one on the right is the Quebec rating...the fine print should say 'General'.  This is not uncommon for R1 US TV releases.

The rating for the R1 US profile should be 'NR'.
