By rating system I mean how they measure how many people watch the show, not what the appropriate audience should be.
Please I want serious answers, I really want to know.

The rating system was developed by MPAA's TV Rating Implementation Group. It is expected to be used in conjunction with the "V chip," a device by which parents can "block out" programs they do not want their children to see.
Some programs, such as news shows, would be excluded from the rating system.
Valenti, the charismatic entertainment executive and former White House press secretary, told Trustees that the MPAA system represents an effort to develop rating symbols that will be concise enough for use in newspaper and TV Guide grids, and at the same time convey enough information for parents to make informed decisions about program content.
What Do the Ratings Mean?
TV-Y: This program is appropriate for all children. The themes and elements of the program, whether animated or live action, were specifically designed for a very young audience, including those ages 2 to 6.
TV-7: This program is designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild physical or comedic violence or may be scary to children under 7.
TV-G: Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. Although this rating does not signify a program designed specifically for children, most parents can let younger children watch this program unattended.
TV-PG: This program may contain some material that some parents would find unsuitable for younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance. The program may contain infrequent coarse language, limited violence, some suggestive sexual dialogue and situations.
TV-14: This program may contain some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under age 14 watch unattended. This program may contain sophisticated themes, strong language, more intense violence and sexual content.
TV-M: This program is designed to be viewed by adults specifically and is therefore unsuitable for children.

movies are rated with the aid of some association by using content of the textile interior the action picture, determining what's suitable to which purpose audience. by using fact of this we've the scores G, PG, PG-13, R, and the ever uncommon NC-17 and X. and there is an analogous score on televison consisting of Y, Y-&, television PG, television G, and so on. Tvs and flicks are rated for content, i'm not sure how the appearing rather performs into it. some movies i desire to cost an R for undesirable appearing. LOL.

It is sort of like a scientific poll, they put boxes in a certain number of peoples homes, and use that data to estimate how many people watch a show. How many people a rating point represents changes as more and more people get television, but right now it is about 1.2 million people.
