This change in knowledge conveys an educational message to the audience which may fall into one or more categories - intellectual-cognitive and/or socio-emotional. The message will always be integral to the plot and present throughout the script. This objective is achieved in this series by showing how a group of teens deals with gender, equality, competition, cooperation and balancing priorities. Title of Analog Core Program #2 Origin CITY GUYS (A) NETWORK Regular Schedule Total Times Aired at Regularly Scheduled Time Number of Pre-emptions Saturday 10:30am 13 0 Length of Program Age of Target Audience E/I Symbol Used As Required 30 minutes From To 12 years 17 years Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming "City Guys" originates at a densely populated, multi-ethnic, public high school in the heart of Manhattan. Through its characters, the show demonstrates that what we see doesn't begin to tell the story about who people really are and what life is really like. Two young men, who seem to be opposites in all the obvious ways - race, economic background, culture, clothes and music - are thrown into a friendship and working relationship by their wise and acerbic principal. The boys actually have a lot in common - they are both bright, they want to be more than the negative images they sometimes project, and they have never been motivated to really think, reflect, or act beyond the superficial. As they deal with the pressures of big city life, they learn that getting beyond the superficial and seriously dealing with a deeper reality is the critical path to attaining success.

The overarching goal of this series is to take the viewer from one level of knowledge to a more informed or higher level of knowledge within each episode.

Each week, embedded in an evolving, continuous process of friendship and values clarification, a character will deal with a specific challenge. Topics will include, for example, racial identity, understanding and accepting loss, facing failure, effective communication, conflict management, personal responsibility, service to others, trust and betrayal, academic achievement, life balance, and tolerance.

They come from very different family backgrounds, and have different strengths, but share a bond of friendship. Their different talents, perspectives, and family experiences become the platform for illustrating alternative approaches to understanding and solving problems.

Each week, embedded in the story narrative, a lesson is presented to the audience that relates specifically to teen concerns. Topics include inter-racial understanding, using compromise to avoid negative conflict, effective communication with parents, the hazards of risk-taking, saying "No" to peer pressure, and using logic to solve your problems.
