Taboo Rating[]
TV shows marked as "TV–MA" means that such program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17.
This rating was originally TV-M prior to the announced revisions to the rating system in August 1997, but was changed due to a trademark dispute and in order to remove confusion with the Entertainment Software Rating Board's (ESRB) "M for Mature" rating for video games. This program may contain one or more of the following: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V) [1]
