However, content in these programs are not always directed towards children. the programs aim more toward a family audience, and is not "directed for 7 years and older".

Adult animations which feature crude humor and mature content, often have a TV-14 rating. Live programming like televised awards ceremonies, concerts, and some specials will be issued a general TV-14 rating, because of the possibility that profanity or suggestive dialogue may occur.
