Has All in the Family ever been aired with a TV-14 rating? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

James28 · 03-28-2008, 02:11 AM

Because it contained content that is more suited to a TV-14-rated program that a TV-PG-rated program, Has All in the Family ever aired with the TV-14 rating? All in the Family is usually rated TV-PG-DL, but the show having a TV-14 rating has come up to my mind.

I think it should TV-14

TV-14 wasn't around in the 70s; either was TV-PG-DL. It wasn't until the 90s that networks started to put ratings on TV shows, and later stations on the sydnicated reruns.

With "AITF" though, I remember CBS showing a disclaimer before certain episodes, and in the promos for some of the episodes in the later seasons; like that 2-part one (which was first shown as an hour) where Archie joined the KKK.

^^^That's what I was going to say. There were NO TV RATINGS BACK THEN. Those were the good ol' days of tv too.

No, I was seeing if any post-1996 syndicated reruns that have aired All in the Family with a TV_14 rating. Cimarron Strip, a western, was rated TV-!4 when it is on the Encore Westerns channel.

Ireneparalegal · 03-30-2008, 01:08 AM

Ohhh, I see. Good question. I never paid attention to the rating.

treky · 03-30-2008, 02:29 AM

no, I never paid attention to the rating, either.

No, wait. I think NICK AT NITE used to show it with a PG rating.

MOWERDAN · 04-01-2008, 12:56 PM

The strongest rating I've ever seen for AITF was PG-DL. Every episode has that rating. I think it may have been down-graded to PG in the later seasons. I've never seen it rated as PG-14, though.

TJL · 04-01-2008, 01:36 PM

It is an interesting question.

AITF had some very adult themes. Is it a good idea to change the rating of this show in reruns that air now?

BigManMike · 05-15-2008, 12:50 PM

I don't know. On Nick at Nite and TV Land, it was usually TV-PG and occasionally TV-PG-DL. I never saw it TV-14. I actually saw the opening to Archie Bunker's Place on YouTube about 2 years ago, and it was rated TV-G. I wonder if any AITF episodes were TV-G?

I agree with you 100%.

Last Tuesday, I noticed that All in the Family is, in fact, airing with a TV-14 rating on Sundance Channel. Some episodes of AitF have the "L" sub-rating. I think Sundance Channel must be airing the uncut, original-broadcast versions of the AitF episodes.

Fear of being given a TV-14 rating is the reason why programs are edited for content.

Sundance also rates it TV-PG. Antenna does too. Lighten up Francis.

Where's the proof to this statement? In syndication shows are not edited for content. They are edited for commercial time only.
