Nothing that would offend parents for viewing by children." As a universal rating, G is the widest category, with other ratings of PG ("Parental Guidance"), PG-13 ("Parents Strongly Cautioned"), R ("Restricted", with under 17s requiring an accompanying adult) and NC-17 ("Adults Only", with no admittance to anyone under 17).
