City Guys was produced in consultation with an educational consultant, focusing on the learning process of teenagers about the realities of life and that actions have consequences.

The cast is ethnically diverse. In each episode the cast starts at one level of knowledge and understanding. By the end of the episode they have moved to another level of understanding and decision making skills. The message is always integral to the plot and present throughout the episode.
