Title of Planned Core Program #2 Origin TUTENSTEIN NETWORK Regular Schedule Total Times to be Aired Saturdays/10:30-11AM 13 Length of Program Age of Target Audience 30 minutes From To 9 years 14 years Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming TUTENSTEIN: Premiered on Saturday, 11/1/03 @ 10:30-11AM. A witty new 13 part series animated series. Tutenstein comes back to life when lightning strikes his sarcophagus in the International Museum of World History. It's a rude awakening for the pampered boy-king, who learns that the world has changed dramatically during his 3,000 year "nap" -- but Cleo Carter (a 12 year old girl with a passion for Egyptology) and her cat, Luxor (who believes it is his destiny to serve Tut like his cat ancestors before him) feel responsible for awakening the boy-king, and are constantly trying to hide him and protect him from the modern world (and vice-versa). But Tut's mischievous behavior makes keeping him in line very difficult. He summons Gods from the Underworld, forbids the Sun to rise to stop time from going forward, and redecorates Cleo's room in Egyptian style while his tomb is being renovated (including replacing her hunky boy posters with an image of Nefertiti), and generally makes it hard for Cleo and Luxor to keep the world intact. The funny, wild and sometimes-scary adventures of Tut, are derived from real Egyptology, to engage kids' minds while tickling their funny bones.
