My guess? Either the standards aren't so strict in the US or Discovery Family went to a lot of trouble (and expense) to ensure that it got a lower rating so they wouldn't turn off the parents of some of their target audience. There is a long, grim history of distributors 'persuading' ratings panels to see things their way.
