TV-Y7

A television program that is rated TV-Y7 in the United States by the TV Parental Guidelines signifies content is suitable for children 7 and older. Many of these programs contain some elements that are not suitable for the TV-Y rating such as mild fantasy violence, comedic violence, or some frightening scenes. Though infrequent, some very mild language may be included. Most shows on channels such as Discovery Family, Disney Channel, Disney XD, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network (although TV-PG is gaining favorability for most programming) receive this rating, whether the E/I symbol is shown or not. It is equivalent to the MPA's hard G and soft PG rating for movies, and the ESRB's hard E and soft E10+ rating for video games.

According to how the V-chip is programmed, this rating is actually less restrictive than TV-G but more restrictive than TV-Y.
