Skip for under 13
Seinfeld S3 E12, “The Red Dot”, scores 1/5 for violence, 4/5 for sex and 3/5 for language, for an overall kid-rating of 4/5 — Skip for under 13. Jerry is the unwitting cause of Elaine's boyfriend falling off the wagon. Elaine gets George a job, so he buys her a gift, an $85 cashmere sweater. The sweater has a little red dot on it; hence the price. Elaine gives it back, then George gives it to the cleaning woman, to keep her quiet about them having sex on his desk. George gets fired.
