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 doesnt 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 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.

This series focuses on the development of four teen girls who live and attend high school in Chicago. 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. The overarching goal of the series is to model a learning experience for the audience, where the primary character goes from one state of knowledge to another higher state of knowledge by the end of the episode. 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.

Just Deal focuses on the development of three teens who are uniquely different from one another yet forge deep bonds of friendship through their shared interests and problems. As these three navigate their way through high school, they will deal with all the important issues of adolescence, modeling their problem-solving and decision-making for the teen audience. 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. This is achieved through the storylines, where one or more of the three main characters will demonstrate active problem-solving and decision-making related to a specific topic. 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, an tolerance.

One World focuses on a family of six adopted and foster children who live with Dave and Karen Blake, a high school baseball coach and his wife. Each of the Blake kids has had a rough life; getting into trouble either at school, or with the law or getting bounced around to different foster families. Life with the Blakes is their chance at a stable future but each childs background influences their perspective on how to handle family and life challenges. In addition to learning how to manage family relationships, the kids deal with other social and cognitive issues, from providing service to help others, to life planning and educational development. There is an emphasis on understanding multiple perspectives on any problem and giving every person a fair chance to prove their worth to others.
