Video games

Video games and issues regarding them have been brought up in Supernanny and Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance.

Video game ratings
Video games, except for some distributed digitally, are rated in North America by the ESRB. The ratings are as follows:
 * EC - Early Childhood (Recommended for Ages 3+), Games with this rating contain content which is aimed towards a preschool audience. They do not contain content that parents would find objectionable to this audience.
 * E - Everyone (Recommended for All Ages), They can contain content such as infrequent use of "mild"/cartoon violence, and minimal use of language. This rating was initially known as Kids to Adults (K-A) until 1998; the ESRB had initially intended to use "E" for the rating, but that there were trademark issues with another company over use of an "E" icon.
 * E10 - Everyone 10 and up (Recommended for Ages 10+, Games with this rating contain content which the ESRB believes is generally suitable for ages 10 and older. They can contain content such as a greater amount of violence, mild language, crude humor, or suggestive content than the Everyone (E) rating.)
 * T - Teenagers (Recommended for Ages 13+, Games with this rating contain content which the ESRB believes is generally suitable for ages 13 and older. They can contain content higher in impact than the Everyone 10+ rating but not to the extent of the Mature (M) rating such as moderate amounts of violence, including small amounts of blood, some language or suggestive themes, sexual content, brief nudity, and crude humor.)
 * M - Mature Audiences (Recommended for Ages 17+, the buyer must show their ID to buy the game from a retail store. Games with this rating contain content which the ESRB believes is generally suitable for ages 17 and older. They can contain content such as intense and/or realistic portrayals of violence (including blood, gore, mutilation, and depictions of death), strong sexual themes and content, nudity, and more frequent use of strong language.)
 * AO - Adults Only (Recommended for Ages 18+, most retailers do not carry games rated AO and most console manufacturers do not allow them on their consoles. Games with this rating contain content which the ESRB believes is only suitable for ages 18 and older. They contain content with an impact higher than the Mature (M) rating can accommodate, such as graphic sexual themes and content, extreme portrayals of violence, or unsimulated gambling with real money. The majority of AO-rated titles are adult video games, and received their ratings for their graphic sexual content.)
 * RP - Rating Pending (Means that the ESRB hasn’t assigned the official rating and should only appears in promotional advertisements.)

The rating system is mentioned in the Tafoya Family episode.

Violent Media Study
In Kiran and Bronwyn, Jo conducted a study involving a simulated war game.

Trivia
The EC - Early Childhood (Recommended for Ages 3+) was no longer used as of 2018 because of a few titles using this, but previous releases may still show the rating. Games with this rating, as the title implies, appeals to children and adults. This rating was used from 1994 to 1998 before it was replaced with the Everyone (E) rating.
