Kuzco,
a youth who is heir to the throne of a mythical Andean country, must
graduate from Kuzco Academy before he can become Emperor of his land. He
lives with a peasant foster family and faces the intellectual, physical
and social challenges that all teens face, while also preparing to rule
justly and well. Sometimes Kuzco wonders whether being Emperor for the
rest of his days will be a pleasure or a trap.
Kuzco thwarts attempts by the nefarious Yzma and her henchman, Kronk, to
stop him from doing well in school. If Kuzco were to fail at his class
work, Yzma would become Empress. Kuzco struggles to complete his
assignments and stay on track. Only if he remains steadfast, studies
hard, learns from his mistakes, and can relate to citizens at all levels
of society, will he ascend the throne. His best friend Malina, an
excellent student, attempts to help Kuzco stay out of trouble and
achieve his goals.
Series episodes explore issues such as coping with peer pressure,
respecting authority, taking responsibility, adhering to family and
school rules, accepting differences, building self-esteem and trust.

Riley
and Todd, siblings who were raised in an orphanage after the death of
their parents, long to be adopted. They find a comic book advertisement
for Fleemco, an agency that will provide "Replacement" parents or
adults to substitute for certain individuals. Brother and sister decide
to send in the $1.98 fee in hopes of obtaining parents to replace their
lost ones. They acquire an unorthodox pair of Replacement parents, Dick
Daring and Agent K. Dick is a former daredevil stuntman and Agent K is a
British super-spy. Neither seems to know much about parenting, although
their intentions are good. Agent K's highly intelligent automobile,
C.A.R., her former spy partner, also joins the household. Their attempts
to forge a family and adjust to a new school are both touching and
comedic.
Riley and Todd discover that they can call Fleemco to request
replacement of any adult whom they dislike, who is overly strict, or who
is merely uninteresting. The temporary Replacements for teachers,
neighbors or other community figures never prove to be as exciting or
fun as the siblings had hoped, and are often immature and obnoxious. As
things go awry, Riley and Todd learn that they need adult leadership,
discipline, role models, order and structure. By the end of each story
they are eager to return the Replacement and reinstate the original
adult.
Stories revolve around issues such as cooperating with household/family
rules, taking responsibility, fairness, building self-esteem, and trust.

Raven
Baxter, who has inherited her grandmother's gift of clairvoyance, is a
normal, happy young woman. Nonetheless, Raven sometimes worries that she
is a freak because of her clairvoyant abilities. She has a ten-year old
brother, Cory. They are typical siblings, with the tension and rivalry
that most siblings experience. Raven and Cory's mother is in law
school, and their father owns a small restaurant.
Raven attends an ethnically diverse San Francisco public high school.
She is responsible for the after-school safety and activities of Cory.
Her closest friends, Chelsea and Eddie, are fiercely committed to
environmental issues and sports, respectively. Raven dreams of a career
in fashion design, and the new season's episodes revolve around her
internship with an eccentric fashion designer.
Raven's parents and close friends know about her "visions". These
premonitions often prompt her to intervene before trouble occurs.
Sometimes her interventions backfire, and at other times the foreseen
events occur, bringing embarrassment or sadness. She learns valuable
lessons from her transgressions. "Visions" set up issues that the Core
episodes of this series explore, among which are sibling rivalry,
popularity, loyalty, self-acceptance, jealousy, dealing with authority,
and consequences of lying or cheating.

Thirteen-year-old
Miley Stewart, recently moved from Tennessee to Malibu, CA, leads a
double life. By day she attends public high school, along with her older
brother Jackson, but by night she is emerging pop star "Hannah
Montana". Except for her family, only her two best friends, Oliver and
Lilly, and her bodyguard know about Miley's career as a singer, and she
strives to maintain privacy, fearing that her new classmates would treat
her very differently if they knew of her stage identity. Miley wears
blonde wigs while performing, and manages to escape being recognized.
Miley's mother died three years before the story begins, so her dad is
now a single parent. He has just begun dating again. Miley misses her
mother very much. One of the songs that she writes and performs is about
the pain of growing up without her mother.
Unlike her brother, Miley is a dedicated student. At school, her enemies
are Amber and Ashley, two girls who constantly bully Miley. Oliver and
Lilly are fiercely protective of their friend. Miley has ordinary
teenage insecurities, but remains true to herself, despite the allure of
concert life, the limos, parties, and glamorous clothes. This is in no
small part due to the solid values that her father, Miley's manager
(Billy Rae Cyrus), has imparted. Tension and sibling rivalry do occur,
especially when Jackson feels that his talented sister is getting all
the attention.
Stories examine social issues such as peer pressure, integrity, family
rules, jealousy, friendship, loyalty, and issues related to bereavement.
The January 1, 2011 episode was preempted for ESPN on ABC live network
coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade.

Those
episodes of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" that air on ABC as Core
Programming deliver life lessons tailored for the older child and
"tween" audience.
Stories take place in a luxury hotel in Boston, where twelve-year-old
identical twins Zack and Cody live with their divorced mom, a lounge
singer for the Tipton Hotel. The boys attend a local public middle
school. One of the twins is polite and shy and excels in academics,
while the other, athletic and extroverted, barely scrapes by in school,
due to lack of effort. He often instigates wacky plans for outwitting
hotel authorities, caregivers, and their mother. The boy's mother dates
and would like to remarry. Their father is a professional rock
musician who is on the road much of the year, but stays in touch with
his sons. This sets up occasional parental conflicts about discipline
and expectations.
Parallel stories involve two teenage girls: heiress London Tipton,
whose father owns the hotel, and Maddie, a girl who works after school
at the hotel snack bar. Unlike London, Maddie attends a parochial girls'
school and comes from a working class Boston family.
Series episodes explore sibling rivalry, conflicts with parents,
divorce, household and hotel rules, family budget limitations,
responsibility, self-esteem, and peer pressure.
The January 1, 2011 episode was preempted for ESPN on ABC live network
coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade.

Last year, the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State Officers released the Common
Core State Standards Initiative, an attempt to set a national curriculum to bridge the standards gap
between states. The content of On the Spot, a 30-minute E/I program for teens ages 13+, is based on the
Common Core State Standards. The show uses an entertaining on-the-street format to test how well
young people know the information contained in their own national curriculum.
Then, On the Spot explains the answer to each question. The pedagogical approach of testing first and
explaining the answer second has been shown to enhance retention and understanding.
On the Spot challenges viewers to recall middle and high school knowledge about history, science, math,
English, second languages, health, geography, art, music, and technology, and then teaches them the
answer
