PG-13 ruined so much....films avoided it as soon as the rating came out...just like they avoided X...so to accommodate and all the bad connotation's it carried, despite just being a rating higher than R - as you could have very violent movies with no nudity, rated X and therefore unreleasable, so the MPAA invented NC-17.

After that, films became all-in on PG or strictly R. The nanufactured middle ground became unacceptable to studios.

This was the case in the 90s. I remember being a little kid in that decade seeing all these cool TV spots for movies I wanted to see. Most of them ended up being R and my parents were the type that would sit through a PG-13 movie before deciding whether it was right for me to see it.

The rating for these films were either G, PG, or R. PG-13 didn't seem to start being used consistently until the late-90s.
