Young Sabrina's lessons in how to be a good witch are demanding, but they pale in comparison to what she must learn in order to be a good human: loyalty, honesty, self-efficacy, tolerance, perseverance, independence. Each week Sabrina confronts her two sides and discovers that the magic of becoming human is even more demanding and more powerful than the magic of the Netherworld. As she struggles to understand and master her human side, Sabrina serves as an ideal role-model for the eight- to twelve-year-old audience. Sabrina is positive, self-reliant, competent...and open to new ideas. She listens, learns, and does what is necessary to reinforce the lesson for others. And with the help and guidance of her family and friends both Sabrina and the viewing audience come to understand what it takes to become a fully functioning, truly good human being. Attractive and engaging characters, entertaining story lines that mirror the kinds of issues and situations that concern children in middle childhood, and stories that flow from and examine those issues in concrete, explicit terms that children can understand.

Each week Archie and the gang negotiate their way through yet another "weird mystery." They encounter many of the same problems and issues confronting today's pre-teens: how to get along with others; how to build and maintain self-confidence; what kinds of values and behaviors lead to both self-respect and respect from others. Because Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and their classmates are engaging characters with whom young viewers easily identify, they serve as excellent role models. As they deal with such pro-social issues as honesty, perseverance, dependability diversity, self-reliance, and self-respect, their struggles and what they finally learn provide young viewers with the kinds of "life lessons" that study after study indicates parents and teachers value.

This series focuses on one particular family of Littles - Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Dinky, and the two youngest: Tom and Lucy. In their quest to become productive adults, the Littles and their friend Henry face the same kinds of problems that young children face every day - issues of friendship, jealousy, honesty, prejudice, consideration for others, kindness, responsibility, risk-taking ... and more. Each episode of the Littles focuses on one such issue, presenting it in explicit, concrete terms. And young, attractive characters with whom children can identify carry out these actions, they serve as excellent role models for young viewers. Younger and older children, boys and girls, loners and social butterflies...all can find a character with whom to identify and from whom to learn. And last but far from least, the character of Grandpa, a wise, experienced, older Little who clearly loves and cares for the Little kids, functions as the kind of non-threatening, non-didactic teacher to whom children respond. He frequently articulates the lesson inherent in the action as he interacts with and advises the Little children. He is the best kind of teacher. The exciting adventures of the Littles and the suspense generated by their frequent narrow escapes from Dr Hunter are designed to capture and hold young viewers' attention. The explicitness with which each lesson is articulated and role models with whom children can identify are designed to ensure that children note and understand the embedded pro-social content as they derive delight from the action.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
In every episode, the Stargate Explorers enter another 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 team of 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 own 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.
