When a shark lives among humans, getting along in the world is one tough challenge after another. Kenny the Shark is about a tiger shark that has made the transition from sea to land, but it's very hard trying to adapt to new conditions. He lives with Kat, a middle school student, and her family. In the process of watching Kenny deal with this situation, we learn real world facts about shark behavior, habits, and biology. We also learn a lot about how to understand multiple perspectives on a problem. In each episode, Kenny and Kat have to solve a problem that requires one of them to be generous, cooperative, hardworking, honest, unselfish or responsible. The situations they face are comedic and action-packed extensions of the incongruous circumstances of Kenny's life

The show's educational content includes Egyptology and social-emotional messages. Egyptology is presented through the introduction of historically accurate depictions of myths, legends, demons and gods. In each story Tut and his sidekicks, Cleo and her cat, Luxor, have an adventure where the ancients are resurrected as allies or enemies in a conflict that takes place in modern times. Most of the socio-emotional lessons revolve around learning to plan, being less selfish, and considering the consequences of impulsive behavior.

|

Follows the life of 15-year-old Darcy Fields, the pampered daughter of a top Hollywood move-star who was plucked out of a life of limos, movie-premiers and world class restaurants to live a "no frills" in rural Idaho. Darcy's initital resentment gives away to optimism as she makes new friends and becomes a part of the community. The educational goal of the program is for the main character, Darcy to model the learning process in adjusting to a new environment that is the complete antithesis of her old life. Darcy comes to a deeper understanding of herself, the value of relationships, and the insignificance of material things. This occurs as she adjusts to her new surroundings and a new group of friends who have totally different perspectives on life. Specific objectives are to show Darcy, with her Hollywood mentality, navigating her way through life on a farm and relating to people who have a different outlook on life. The viewer will also learn about the care and treatment of a variety of animals that live on farms or in the wild.
