KENNY THE SHARK is an eight foot tall shark that 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 wrong that Kenny did. Their resolution of the problem offers the educational message for each episode of the show.

TUTENTSTEIN 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.

TRADING SPACES: BOYS VS. GIRLS Siblings, friends or neighbors get to show how well they know each other by redesigning an important room in each others homes. Each week a boy and a girl will be given two days and $5000 dollars to complete a renovation of their competitors room. The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a clubhouse, 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. They learn how to manage a budget, and how to develop and execute a design plan for the room. Participants also 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.

ENDURANCE features a group of 9-14 year old contestants engaging in successive competitions that test different physical and intellectual abilities. Each of the twelve competitive challenges is a metaphor for the challenges our target audience will face in real life. In addition, there are strategic challenges based on ten character traits that are important for success. Contestants must estimate probabilities and beat the odds. Overall, the competition balances luck or fate against personal effort so that the contestants learn to balance intellect with intuition in developing their winning strategy. Narration and interviews during each episode trace the emotional growth and insights of the contestants, with an emphasis on how the experience of protracted competition and teamwork teaches that social skills, knowledge and physical ability combine to create success. The team that endures to the end of all the challenges earns the right to choose a trip to an exotic part of the world.

STRANGE DAYS AT BLAKE HOLSEY HIGH focuses on a group of five young teens that 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.

DARCYS WILD LIFE 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.

COATS FOR KIDS - Each 4th quarter KSEE24 collects and cleans coats for distribution to needy children. The theory behind this coat drive is that if kids have jackets to wear in the cold, they will go to school. This year we collected and cleaned over 16,000 coats.
KSEE24 airs PSAs targeted to children 16 and under with The More You Know campaign. Topics of these PSAs include: stay in school, substance abuse, anti-drugs, teacher tribute, drunk driving and teen encouragement. This campaign also encourages parents to become even more involved with their kids and offers specific suggestions, such as taking time to talk with them or spend more time together. This part of the campaign was developed in response to studies which conclude that children who have strong emotional attachments to their parents are less likely to use drugs and alcohol, engage in violence or become sexually active at an early age. These PSAs air approximately 30 times per month.
THE MORE YOU KNOW WEBSITE
"The More You Know's" comprehensive website (NBC.com/tmyk) compliments the on-air public service announcements, while providing in-depth referral information for viewers. Content includes: video of all current public service announcements, a general campaign overview, press releases, and referral information by topic to partnering agencies referenced in the PSAs. The site includes a comprehensive list of the campaign's accolades, including Emmy and Peabody awards. In addition, a behind-the-scenes story with clips from talent interviews can be viewed.
KSEE24 maintains a Homework Home Page link for school age children 10 to 16 years of age on KSEE24's World Wide Web Site (www.ksee24.com/homework). The Homework Home Page serves as a tool in helping children as a supplemental reference source when doing school or extracurricular projects.
