TV Ratings: Starting on 1997, Starz began to precede its series and specials with bumpers featuring the TV ratings that were adopted by the rest of the industry: "TV-Y7" ("Directed to Older Children"), "TV-G" ("General Audiences"), "TV-PG" ("Parental Guidance Suggested"), "TV-14" ("Parents Strongly Cautioned") and "TV-M" ("Mature Audience"), later "TV-MA" ("Mature Audience Only").
