		Title of Analog Core Program #1 Origin CITY GUYS (A) NETWORK Regular Schedule Total Times Aired at Regularly Scheduled Time Number of Pre-emptions Saturday/10AM 11 2 Length of Program Age of Target Audience E/I Symbol Used As Required 30 minutes From To 13 years 16 years Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming Through its characters, this show demonstrates that what we see doesn't begin to tell the story about who people really are and what life is really like. Two young men who seem to be opposites in all the obvious ways--race, economic background, culture, clothes and music--are thrown into a friendship and working relationship by their wise and acerbic principal. The boys actually have a lot in common--they are both bright, they want to be more than the negative images they sometimes project, and they have never been motivated to really think, reflect, or act beyond the superficial. As they deal with the pressures of big city life, they learn that getting beyond the superficial and seriously dealing with a deeper reality is the critical path to attaining success.The educational objective of this program is to demonstrate how the knowledge of one or more characters in the story moves from one level to a more informed or higher level of knowledge by the end of each episode. This change in knowledge conveys an educational message to the audience which may fall in one or more categories--intellectual-cognitive and/or socio-emotional. The message will always be integral to the plot and present throughout the script. This objective is achieved in this series by showing how a group of teens deal with gender equality, competition, cooperation, and balance priorities.

Set in suburban Seattle, these three have comfortable and happy lives, but that doesn't absent them from all the normal issues of adolescence. Their challenges are defining their values and purpose in life, and like most teens, they are serious about figuring it all out. They aren't confused or alienated, just earnest and sincere about doing the right thing by others while doing what is best for their own development. They have different family backgrounds with strong parents who also weigh in on the issues. When they mix it up with input from a diverse circle of friends, this threesome always learns that life isn't simple, no matter where you come from or what you have. There is no substitute for having to JUST DEAL.

The central character is a teen who is trying to break out of athletic mediocrity and become an explosive skater. Yet, he's got other obligations, like school, college and long term security, which totally conflict with embracing the skater's lifestyle of bravado and risk. Balancing competing goals is the underlying struggle of our main character's life, which is spiked by specific situations that test his moral fiber and his decision-making ability. Through a strong relationship with his father and close friends, our kid learns how to establish priorities, become a professional, and develop a good sense of judgement about people and situations.
