thanks Robin i really appreciate that. i just hope this PG thing isn't permanent. i know that TV networks go through these kinds of fazes to see what works. but i mean with storylines like the metro court crisis. the virus outbreak aswell as other past events that GH has done were all rated TV14. including the day to day programming. especially the "in your face type of character mentalities" i miss the most. if you by any chance get in contact with brian frons personally at ABC. i would really like to hear his response concerning the rating system for GH and does he plan on changing it back to TV14 any time soon.

Aha, that makes more sense and rings a bell :) During the summer months, the soaps target teens (not younger kids)because they are home from school and tend to watch TV. I've posted a few times regarding this topic, I'm sure that is what you have read. I have not heard anything regarding the rating system, however. Sorry. I'll certainly keep my ears and eyes open :)

well i don't know if it was directly related to the rating system. but i do remember you mentioning something about GH was gonna try and target kids to get the nielsen ratings up. to me that meant in order for GH to do that they would have to change there format around to fit the kid audience. granted TVPG isn't exactly kid friendly. given the cursing.ie"bitch" and shootouts thrown in. but the TV14 is what made GH alittle bit darker and edgier. i was just wondering cause i was watching episodes on youtube when GH had the TV13=4 that would show at the top left corner of the television. and i was wondering if that's why there was an immediate change in the writing because of switching the rating system to a lesser standard? it seems the most apparent that's what happened. the rating system effects how a show is written and produced.

Hi GH Mob, Truthfully, I don't remember ever posting about the ratings system. Are you sure it was on my site you read that? If I hear anything related to the ratings system, I will certainly let you all know.

a few of my friends wanna know if you have any news when or if general hospital will go back to being TV14? i know it was said awhile back in one of your spoilers that GH is aiming for kids with the TVPG rating and then sometimes adding a L for moderate language like the bitch words that are said to some degree on GH. or V for when they have violent scenes like the shootouts. however the TV14 was the main thing that kept storylines dark and intresting. i would like to know if GH is ever planning on changing it back to that rating? i mean look at the metro hostage crisis storyline for example. that was part of the TV14 aspect and that rocked.
