Target Ticket will offer TV shows like HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire,' with Steve Buscemi.
Parents can target what their kids watch on their phones, tablets and TVs, thanks to a new digital video service.

Titles include blockbuster releases like “Iron Man 3” and “Star Trek Into Darkness” and HBO shows like “Game of Thrones” and “True Blood.”

But parents have the ultimate say about their kids’ viewing options.
The big-box retailer partnered with San Francisco-based nonprofit Common Sense Media, which provides movie and TV reviews, to make it easier for users to select age-appropriate content for their kids.
Worried parents can also set filters according to the level of violence and profanity and ratings given by the Motion Picture Association of America.

They can customize profiles for family members so they can watch varied content simultaneously on different devices.
The service is aimed at parents who want a kid-safe, easy- to-use service, the company says. Viewers can watch rented content as many times as they want within a 48-hour period.
Target Ticket is currently available on PCs, Macs, Android and iOS, along with Internet-connected TVs and Xboxes.
Guests can visit TargetTicket.com to access the service or download the app through the App Store or Google Play.
