Watching some documentary about the Universe which is advertised as just about... exploring and understanding the universe and it's rated TV-14 for "Fear and Smoking" (wtf).

I ... don't care about fear or smoking, I watch gory movies all the time but I don't see why they'd need to make an educational show like this that's apparently not meant for child audiences when children would benefit from it.

14 typically means they should be watched with a parent.

Makes sense but why would a show about the universe even need parental guidance >_>.

The explanations in this show are crazy as shit. They have some lady in scanty clothing doing fire dancing and stuff to illustrate the orbit of planets >_>. Everything else is pretty normal and straightforward.

TV-14 is basically the most common rating. It's basically the modern day PG, and is also a financial decision since anything less is usually viewed as for children, and could hurt sales.

It's like with movies. Animated children's films - even Disney and Pixar - are PG now. You hardly see G anymore, and anything below a PG-13 is viewed as "for kids".
