ST TOS

Who gives G/PG ratings for shows that weren't rated originally? One streaming network gives TOS a G while another gives a PG DMc75771 (talk) 03:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: "TOS" is a term used by its fans to refer to the original series Star Trek. As to the question, I have no idea. --142.112.221.85 (talk) 03:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder why Star Trek Classic didn't catch on. —Tamfang (talk) 23:48, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If a movie or telelvision show does not include a rating in the metadata, some streaming services will rate it themselves. If no rating is provided, NR is often used to indicate Not Rated. But, that is not optimal because NR will not show up if you ask for media that is PG-13 or lower or if you ask for R or higher. NR is nothing and is not higher or lower than any other rating. So, to make it easier to find media, the streaming services want to plug some form rating in. It may be from whomever was adding the media to the database. It could be pulled from public ratings, averaging out to the most commonly suggested one. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 13:10, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
