"Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action" features two well-known, real-life siblings in a fanciful scenario. They play actors performing roles in a weekly movie about two young special agents whose adventures take them all over the world. Their sister "team" relationship is one in which cooperation, logical deduction, inventiveness and humor triumph. Mary-Kate and Ashley's friendship with a fellow team member, Chinese-American sixteen-year-old Rod Choi, is a close one, as is their relationship with Hispanic team member Ivan Quintero. Ivan is extremely gifted at technical and mathematical matters; his electronic inventions are a great asset to the team. In addition to problem-solving strategies each episode teaches children values such as honesty, perseverence, kindness and respect for differences. As girls engaged in active, adventurous stories Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are particularly good role models for our school-aged audience.

"Even Stevens" explores the day-to-day interaction between seventh grader Louis, a bright and unconventional boy, his eighth grade sister Ren, whose straight-A average and mature manner belie her vulnerability, and his two best friends. Louis is naturally funny and spontaneous. He is often the instigator of a prank or scheme-much to the embarrassment of his older sister. Ren's brains and superior organizational skills often make Louis feel clumsy and inadequate by comparison. They are loyal and loving siblings, although each marches to a very different beat. "Even Stevens" episodes are highly kid-relatable, focusing on family and brother-sister conflicts, responsibility, fairness, competition, goal-setting, self-esteem, problems with schoolmates and parent-child interaction.
