Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most
audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in
the company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who
do not distinguish between reality and imagination. Programming generally considered acceptable
for children 8 years and over to watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be
portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or encourage children to
imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will
be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content
Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.
