| | Posted: | | | | Hey everyone... I wanted to mention as it is getting a lot of yes votes. Even from some prominent members. Please know I am not blaming anyone as I am sure it is just an error. But I am the only no vote so far. and I don't want to see wrong info go in just to have to be changed again. The TV Series volume sets of The Addams Family (US R1) are being changed to TV-G which is incorrect... here is an example of how all three look on the back of the case....  Notice it clearly marked Not Rated... and no TV-G anywhere. Granted there is both Canadian G ratings... but that is not the same thing as TV-G... matter of fact they are not even US ratings for the US profiles. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | This is actually a fairly common mistake and, as you noted, a PM discussion usually gets it corrected. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | One other thing to be careful of which has caught me is that since the rating can be encoded on the disc and a lot of authoring software seems to default to "G" if you don't manually set it. A quick check shows The Addams Family is one of those titles if you try to check the rating using software. |

| | Posted: | | | | Well the thing about that is that the rules specifically says to use the rating on the case. Quote:
Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover, with the following constraints:
* For localities which offer it as a choice, enter "Unrated" for DVDs which:
o Contain an alternate version of a film which received a theatrical rating, and which have no rating or are marked "NR" or "Not Rated"
o OR include "Unrated" on the front or back cover of the case
* Use "NR" for DVDs which do not qualify for the "Unrated" rating, and which have no rating or are marked "NR" or "Not Rated"
* Use the “Adult” rating for all Adult films.
For DVDs with more than one rating shown (e.g. a DVD which includes an R and Unrated version), use the highest applicable rating with the following scale:
* NR < Board Rating < Unrated < Adult. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | The other thing to remember is that the US TV rating system didn't go into effect until 1997. Shows being released on DVD, that were created prior to that date, won't usually have a rating as they aren't required to be rated for home video release. If you see a TV rating, in a profile or contribution, for one of them, the odds are fairly good that it is incorrect. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Yup.... exactly. And if I am not mistaken... I am fairly sure that even on current shows the TV Ratings are not required still. Even though you never see one air without it anymore. | | | | Pete |
