    Cartoons That Have Had Three Different Ratings

    Late to the party but I know a few: ATHF’s older brother, Space Ghost Coast to Coast went from TV-Y7 to TV-PG even before moving to adult swim, then after the move some TV-14 episodes got thrown in the mix as well. Tom Goes To The Mayor alternated between TV-PG and TV-14, but a handful of...

    Problematic things in older live-action TV shows/movies

    It’s a bit more recent, but with increased awareness about how consent works, Superbad would not fly today. Neither would Married With Children or Revenge of the Nerds.

    South Park Episodes Tame Enough to be TV-PG

    When the show aired on Network TV for syndication back in the day, they cut to Stan playing the game while Cartman, uh, went to business.

    Has the TV-MA Bug Ever Appeared on a Kids Network?

    Yeah it’s real I saw this live and went to Twitter about it. The E/I logo came from when they aired Big Bag back back in the day.

    It's amazing how different Family Guy's early years were

    Yeah Seasons 1-4 had a lot of them, one of my favorites was when Brian put animal food in Stewie’s pocket at the zoo and all of them started chasing him around lol.

    It's amazing how different Family Guy's early years were

    I liked the Season 3-6 Stewie, where he was a witty effeminate one liner machine, but was still a little evil on the side. He has tried to kill Lois in a recent episode last year I saw, though.

    Has the TV-MA Bug Ever Appeared on a Kids Network?

    Can’t think of any, but on the contrary, I’ve seen Rick & Morty with a TV-Y7 and E/I logo. Also seen The Boondocks with a TV-Y too.

    Why hasn’t there been an “adult” series to reach the mainstream popularity of The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy since?

    True, but it’s not really a cultural icon like the previously mentioned shows. If you asked a random group of people, not a lot of them would immediately recognize Arcane. Rankings don’t always indicate true impact or popularity.

    South Park is now TV-14 - a sign of changing times?

    When they first premiered on FOX some of them were, AS just re-rated all of them TV-14. And if you been watching the FXX reruns those episodes are TV-PG again.

    Why hasn’t there been an “adult” series to reach the mainstream popularity of The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy since?

    BoJack, while critically acclaimed, is too real and too depressing to really be a mainstream hit. Rick & Morty, however, is mainstream as hell and approaching the level of The Simpsons/Family Guy/South Park. Lots of merchandise and many of the show’s quotes have seamlessly entered pop culture...

    South Park Episodes Tame Enough to be TV-PG

    Professor Chaos, that one barely even had any swearing in it. Side note: I’ve seen Casa Bonita air with a TV-PG-L rating, but it was an error, after the commercial it was TV-14-L like normal.

    C&C - Tuca & Bertie - Season Two Talkback

    This episode was great. Felt bad for Bertie with her social anxiety getting in the way of her having a good time. Everybody looking at her weird and speaking over her was sad and a little funny at the same time. And at first I wasn’t too amped about Speckle’s plot, but it went left field and I...

    Is it normal to like adult cartoons but not like the adult content?

    Aqua Teen was such a unique case. Seasons 1-3 are mainly witty and surreal although they do have their moments. Mid Season 4 they were allowed to go from TV-PG/TV-14 to a TV-MA-LSV rating and they overdid it with the shock humor. But starting with Season 8 they dialed back a bit and started...

    Should Cartoon Network start doing TV-14 cartoons?

    Yeah that’s probably for the best. I only really thought about it cause they recently aired some (quite risky) TV-14 movies without any controversy.

    Should Cartoon Network start doing TV-14 cartoons?

    I don’t think they would completely lose their intergrity - it all depends on how they go about it. For example, I think CN could finesse something like a 4-part mini action series that goes up to a TV-14-V rating.

    Should Cartoon Network start doing TV-14 cartoons?

    It’s an interesting idea. I feel like CN is the only kids network that can make a TV-14 cartoon and still keep a family friendly image. I also feel like there can be shows that, content-wise, would hit TV-14, but would feel a little too light overall for Adult Swim. It would have to be a soft...

    "Soul" Feature Talkback (Spoilers)

    That was one of my only problems with it, plus I feel like him falling in the hole was a bit too cartoony given what happened afterwards.

    Which cartoons you are looking forward to in 2021?

    Star Trek Prodigy, Jellystone, and The Tuca & Bertie revival on Adult Swim. Hope the Beavis and Butthead revival premieres next year too.

    "Soul" Feature Talkback (Spoilers)

    I watched it with my family on Christmas. It was very uplifting and somewhat depressing at the same time. Definitely doesn’t feel like your average kids movie, it was more like a surreal psychological dramedy. I will be re-watching to catch bits I might have missed in a group setting.

    South Park is now TV-14 - a sign of changing times?

    Yeah, even before CC switched the ratings I thought the same thing. Lotta those old episodes were barely TV-MA. But with Bob’s Burgers, it isn’t changing standards though. The earlier seasons had a little more vulgarity and shock humor, nowadays it’s more lighthearted.

    South Park is now TV-14 - a sign of changing times?

    IMO, the majority of Seasons 1-10 should stay TV-14-DLSV, while the rest should be TV-MA
