KENNY THE SHARK is an eight foot tall shark who lives on land with his owner, ten-year-old Kat. Much of the adventure and humor in this show emerges from the problems that accompany managing the life of a shark trying to live in the incongruous world of human beings. Kenny is literally a big predator fish out of water. The educational goal of this show is to provide the audience with an introductory knowledge of shark behavior and biology. Also each story has an educational theme based on a dilemma facing Kat or Kenny when they have to make decisions, solve problems, or act responsibly to correct something Kenny did wrong. Their resolution of the problem offers the educational message for each episode of the show.

TUTENSTEIN is a resurrected ten-year-old boy mummy who thinks that he is still King Tuten-Astennu, Pharaoh and ruler of the world. Little does he understand that three millennia have passed and everything around him has changed. The shows 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. Cleo is usually the voice of reason for Tut, as she is the one who has to problem-solve their way out of each escapade they encounter.

Boys and girls get to show how well they know each other, how effectively they can manage a budget, and how skillfully they can execute a design plan in Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls. Each week a boy or girl will be given two days and $5000 dollars to complete a renovation of their partners room. The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a club house, but the designer has to show his or her knowledge of the other persons preferences, hobbies, and lifestyle to come up with a good design. Then, the challenge of balancing the budget and figuring out the renovation process begins. Participants will learn measurement, spatial reasoning, and principles of aesthetic design as they go through the experience. In the end, they will find out if their knowledge and perception of their partner was on or off base.

STRANGE DAYS focuses on a group of five young teens who are students at a very unusual boarding school. Strange phenomena happen at the school, and our kids are members of a science club that decides, with the help of their professor, to figure it all out. The initiator of many of their investigative processes is the newest student to the school, Josie Trent. In exploring the larger mystery of why the phenomena occur, our kids also deal with issues relating to their socio-emotional development. The educational goal of the program is to embed scientific content in a narrative story with strong socio-emotional messages. In each episode, one of the main characters models a learning process that relates to their social competence. Each episode also explores science content that relates to resolving an immediate problem or some aspect of the larger mystery. Specific objectives are to expose the audience to content about the physical sciences, such as black holes, worm holes, vortexes, gravity, electricity, satellite transmissions and radio frequencies. Through the characters experiments, the audience is exposed to the scientific method, hypothesis testing and analysis of data. Other objectives are to model the development of group cohesion, teamwork, and social competence within the group and between the group and other significant people in their lives.

follows the life of 15-year-old Darcy Fields, the pampered daughter of a top Hollywood movie-star who was plucked out of a life of limousines, movie-premieres and world class restaurants to live a no frills life in rural Idaho. Darcys initial resentment gives way to optimism as she makes new friends and becomes a part of the community. The overarching educational goal is for the audience to see how the main character, Darcy, is able to make a successful adjustment 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 makes new friends who have totally different perspectives than hers. The viewer will also learn about the care and treatment of a variety of animals that live on farms or in the wild.
