Parental guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.

Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme. Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which while related to the development of plot, character, or themes, are intended for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity. 38 HP Plasma HDTV User's Guide
