  Hello Eran's family! How are you all doing today?</p>
  
  <p>Please try these methods instead:  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p><strong><em>The Publisher's Home Page</em></strong> - DON'T go directly to the search box to search the term "<em>LEGO city mini movies</em>", but instead just
  pull up one of your official <em>LEGO</em> mini movies and click on the
  name of the person who published the video to <em>YouTube</em>.  </p>
  
  <p>In this case it would be "<em>LEGO</em>". So, clicking on the content creator's name will
  lead you to that publisher's homepage and everything they've posted
  to <em>YT</em>, such as <em>Playlists</em>, <em>Videos</em>, <em>Community</em> chit-chats, etc...<br>
  Now, anything not created by this publisher, again <em>LEGO</em>, will not be on their
  homepage.</p></li>
  <li><p><strong><em>Please Show Me More</em></strong> -  So, right below the video publisher's name and date of publication there is a video description. </p>
  
  <p>In this description field the publisher sometimes has links, or if
  its a song, the song's written lyrics. Now, if the description field
  gets too long and wordy, YT will cut it off after a certain length,
  and hide the rest behind the "<strong><em>SHOW MORE</em></strong>" link.</p>
  
  <p>So, try the <em>SHOW MORE</em> link to see if there's further info to
  more official content.</p></li>
  <li><p><strong><em>YouTube Restricted Mode On/Off</em></strong>.  You can turn this on in <em>YouTube</em> settings to try to filter videos with potentially mature content, but note: Filters are not 100% accurate.   </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong><em>Phone App - Restricted Mode On/Off</em></strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open <em>YouTube</em> app.</li>
  <li>Tap 3 dots in the top right of screen.</li>
  <li>Look for gray "Gear Cog" to access "settings".</li>
  <li>In settings, look for "Restricted Mode Filtering".</li>
  <li>Choose either "Don't Filter" or "Strict". Done.</li>
  </ol>

  menu.</li>
  <li>Scroll down/look for gray "Gear Cog" to access "settings".</li>
  <li>Scroll down to the very bottom of page look for "Restricted Mode".
  Click on it to access more of the page.</li>
  <li>Scroll down some more. Toggle it "on" or "off".</li>
  <li>Click "Save".
  Done.</li>

Answers.Text: Yeah, my Mom uses YT through her smart TV too, and the built in app isn't the greatest.  Can you play content from your phone to your tv through Bluetooth?  That would give you more control over the settings.
