Title: For Halloween, TV Scares That Are Still Kid-Friendly

For Halloween, TV Scares That Are Still Kid-Friendly (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130755801)

DS is referenced. Must be why the Sci-Fi Channel gave the original DS a G rating, which as I said back then would have come as a shock to all the adults who railed against the show back in the day.

If DS were new today, I wonder what the rating would be?
I don't watch Vamp. Diaries, et al....anyone know the rating?

Thanks,

Patti

TVD is rated TV14. I suspect DS would probably be rated the same today. (And Sci-Fi's G rating for DS was during its second run ('95-'97). When DS returned to Sci-Fi in '99 I believe it was rated PG, which at least makes more sense than G.)
