I am confused about the TV Rating System on TV Shows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't understand something. Why does Oxygen give Roseanne a TV-G rating which stands for General Audience. But on Nick at Nite it's rated TV-PG which means Parental Guidence. Yet when it was on TBS Superstation some Episodes got rated TV-14 Which means 14 and over. I think the TV Parental Guidelines is sorta stupid because they keep changing them on different shows i guess it's up to the network to rate the show whatever they want. I don't even pay attention to them anymore i just caught that and thought it was strange. I also watch movies on other channels and there rated other things like one day The Breakfast Club was on The WB network were i live and they gave it a TV-PG rating i think and TBS gave it a TV-14 rating.

Yeah, sometimes for no reason at all Full House is rated TV-PG. And I dont get why Who's The Boss? is sometimes rated TV-PG, theres nothing bad in it. I think Roseanne should be TV-PG, but TV-14 would be unessasary.
