Cute article, but may I.offer a simple alternative? Movie makers want to appeal to viewership in homes where there are children, and younger audiences in general. You can't show much nudity or direct sexual themes to minors. That of course doesn't explain why the house in Poltergeist was more normal looking, but that point isn't really bolstered by too much else.

- da39a3ee 6y agoHow does this explain the historical trends that are the subject of the article? Are you saying that fewer children were trying to watch TV in the 90s?
- viraptor 6y agoIt's a drift over time. Also 90s is just the beginning of tv ratings. TV-PG was founded in late 90s and not fully enforced / known at the beginning. The change happened over many years since the time we could get ratings only from box office numbers and the review feedback took months.
