TV content ratings that are inaccurate?

The short outfits The NYC Rockettes were wearing among other reasons.
This morning MTV2 was showing reruns of "Saved by the Bell". There was a big square that said "TV PG". Next to it was a smaller square that said "TV Y7".
In my opinion "TV PG" is correct because the show is about teenagers in high school and issues they face such as dating, peer pressure, etc.

Actually, the Victoria's Secret billboard.
Here's one I've meant to post earlier: Most if not all of the time Deal or No Deal on NBC was rated TV PG, but repeats on CNBC were rated TV 14.
Especially on ABC, which will give a TV-PG to perfectly clean content, this shouldn't be happening. I saw an episode of "Splitting Up Together" where the husband's date was acting like a stripper before they ... you know. There should have been an S because that is a show about a family, with plot lines involving the children, even if it has never really been clean enough for kids. And kids shouldn't have been watching that.
A more recent example: Last Thursday IFC showed the Steve Martin/John Candy movie Planes Trains and Automobiles. Spectrum's TV Guide showed it as being rated TV PG, but IFC showed the uncut R rated version with a TV MA rating, complete with the car rental scene loaded with F-bombs. Today Sundance showed the edited version that actually was PG. I know IFC shows movies uncut and they had the right rating but Spectrum's rating was wrong for that particular time.
Shouldn't "Kids Say the Darndest things" be TV-G? They feature six- and seven-year-old kids. Won't kids that age be watching? Last week it was TV-PG-D,L. Now I get that some of the humor was a little naughty but I don't think those kids realized it.
"Kids Say The Darndest Things" originated as a segment of Art Linkletter's "House Party" show on radio and then on daytime TV. It wasn't intended for kids the age of those being interviewed by Linkletter, or even older kids, but rather for stay-at-home moms, who'd get a laugh out of the segment. If TV had a ratings system back in the '50s and '60s, the whole show would have been TV-G even though the audience was primarily adults and much of the other content in the show didn't involve or interest kids. The updated, stand-alone "Kids Say" feeds the kids questions designed to get a naughtier response, right? If so, TV-PG sounds right. It still isn't targeted at a juvenile audience.
I can't imagine that kids that age wouldn't want to watch.
