Has anyone else noticed that within the past few weeks the on-screen television ratings — meant to help enable parental control over programming in concert with v-chip technology — have increased in size? Additionally, on some networks they seem to appear at the start of each show's segment after a commercial break.
I apparently need to do some reading to see if the FCC regulations have been modified recently to affect this change.

The constant reminder of the TV ratings makes me laugh. It seems arbitrary to me, but I would be interested in what defines each rating (like how many times can one show get away with cursing to maintain a more family friendly rating?)
Yes, I have noticed. They're huge!
Not sure about that one either, Erica. I will see what I can find.
