No - although they are similar in many respects. The closest analog is between TV-MA and PG-13
TV MA is a TV rating meaning "For Mature Audiences Only".
R is an MPAA rating meaning "Restricted - under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian"
Officially TV MA means:
"This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. This program may contain one or more of the following: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V)."
Officially R is assigned for:
- Violence that is both intense and persistent (at least an R rating although NC-17 could, in theory be assigned if it were intense and persistent enough) The most violent R rated films are more violent than the most violent TV-MA programs
- Multiple occurrences of one of the harsher sexually-derived expletives and/or he usage of such an expletive in a sexual context. The most vulgar and crude language in R rated films will exceed that permitted in TV-MA.
- Anything more than "brief" nudity and nudity that is sexually oriented. Nothing more than brief nudity is allowed in TV-MA

What is worse tv ma or pg 13?
Ma means mature audiences, so it would be like an R rating, and PG 13 is not as bad as an R rating, so TV MA would be worse
What does the rating TV-MA mean?
In the United States, TV-MA is used to rate TV programs. TV-MA is used to indicate that the program is designed to be viewed by adults may not be appropriate for children under 17 years of age.
Is TV MA worse or is rated R worse?
R rated films have adult content. (usually sex and/or violence). An unrated film may be very adult oriented or not at all. It's up to the company that makes a film to decide whether to submit it for a rating. Most theaters require a rating. That's why you see most unrated films on DVD.
How old do you have to be to watch TV-14 DLSV movies?
I think to watch shows that are rated TV-14 DVSL I think you have to be 13 to watch it because I think TV-14 DLSV means PG-13. To watch the TV-MA I think you have to be 17 to watch it because TV-MA means mature and to watch mature shows you have to be 17 and TV-MA which stands for mature means R so this is what I think
