LVNSD would be much more informative than "Rated R," or, "PG-13."

L - Language
V - Violence
N - Nudity
S - Sex
D - Drug use
B - Blasphemy

Let's include recommended age at the end, so theaters can know whom to exclude (legal reasons):

Family Guy LVNDB-18

Dexter's Lab V-8

Looney Toons VD-8

Telly Tubbies 0
