Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
BABY LOONEY TUNES uses fantasy and fun to provide young viewers with an enticing model for learning, growing and being. A little kid's world is apt to be replete with challenges and conundrums, as well as enjoyment and satisfaction. How does one deal with the possibility of monsters in a darkened room, the adventure of the first day of preschool, the difficulty of finding something to do on a rainy day, or of making a best friend? On an episode by episode basis, Bugs, Daffy, Lola, Tweety, Sylvester and Taz face these challenges and more-each aided by unique strengths and sometimes handicapped by individual weaknesses. In the end, the Baby Looney Tunes usually win out often by means of ingenuity always mixed with ample doses of humor.

In every episode, the Stargate Explorers enter a new world. About the only things they can be sure of are: that they will encounter life forms and cultures very different from their own, that they will face problems that require functioning smoothly as a team, and that a team is only as strong as the character and abilities of its individual members. At its core, STARGATE INFINITY explores issues, attitudes, and behaviors important to learning how to get along with others-whether those others are from different races, cultures, and species, or from their own trainees. The young explorers serve as models for the young audience. As the cadets learn hard lessons about such things as trying to see the world from the perspective of other cultures, the positive benefits in diversity, or how to mesh their strengths and abilities with those of others on the team, so too do young viewers. The series examines fundamental issues about how and why to get along with others who may be very different from oneself, and about the kinds of abilities and strength of character necessary to be a good Stargate Explorer-and a good person.
