A Full House episode that was given a PG rating - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Thoughts? Anyone else notice the PG rating on the episode where Michelle rides a bike and finds that strange?

That episode was from "Easy Rider". The show was either TV-G or TV-PG.

The rating system never makes sense.

G-Force Glockstar · 03-07-2004, 09:56 AM

Yeah, why are some of the episodes rated PG?

There might be some scenes unappriote for kids.

G-Force Glockstar · 03-07-2004, 10:44 AM

Oh.

What scenes would be inappropire for kids?

Brent88 · 03-07-2004, 01:28 PM

N@N's rating system is different than TBS. Because N@N has a younger audience, they have to be stronger on the rating system. For instance, "Family Matters" on ABC Family is rated PG(every episode), but on TBS, all but maybe 1 or 2 episodes were rated G.

BTW: I have NEVER seen a TV-14 rating on N@N, even though on TBS, Roseanne had a lot of episodes with a TV-14 rating.

I agree. Another thing I don't understand is 'Why is "Family Matters" always rated PG on ABC Family?'

That was a bit strange about the "Easy Rider" episode being rated PG. Of all the "Full House" episodes that were made, I think there are quite a few eps that deserve a PG rating more than that one.

By the way, how could it have had a 'G' rating when it originally aired? Television ratings didn't start until 1997 after "Full House" was cancelled.

I think that episode was rated PG because Danny and Vicky make out. There have been other episodes of Full House where that has happeend, so I don't know.

G-Force Glockstar · 03-07-2004, 07:06 PM

Yeah kids should not see the grown ups making out. It's not good for children to see that.

I can think of one PG-rated scene in the episode "Rock the Craddle" where Becky tries to tell Jesse about her pregancy. When Jesse is explaining to the family how he's "practiced in other people's garages," you should see the looks on their faces. The family thought Jesse already knew her pregancy news, but he was really explaining about his music for the summer tour around promoting Jesse and the Rippers. That was like a misunderstanding but had these types of "adult" discussions.

Didn't Danny cover Stephanie or Michelle's ears when Jesse said that, maybe I'm wrong, but I think he did, because of what they thought Jesse meant.

Danny did, but the audience still heard what was being said.

Yeah, that was definitely a PG moment I think. I probably wouldn't understand what he was saying if I saw it when I was very young, but when you understand what he's saying, it is pretty suggestive.

There's another scene I remember when the monkey was loose in the house, and got into Jesse's bed and started spanking him, and Jesse was enjoying it. I think that was a little suggestive and probably would deserve a PG rating over a G.

LOL! That's a little more than suggestive.
