DARCY’S 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 limos, movie-premiers and world class restaurants to live a “no frills” life in rural Idaho. Darcy’s initial resentment gives way 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.

9 years 14 years
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
TUTENSTEIN is a resurrected ten-year-old boy mummy who thinks that he is still King Tut-Ankh-en-Set-Amun, Pharaoh and ruler of the world. Little does he understand that three millennia have passed and everything around him has changed. 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. 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.

TIME WARP TRIO consists of three curious boys – Fred, Sam and Joe – who are transported through time via a mysterious magic book that is presented to Joe by his magician uncle. “The Book” warps the boys backward or forward in time, before disappearing, to experience extraordinary adventures where they partake in the makings of history as they search for the magical book to return home. When the boys are warped into the future, they come face to face with their own great-granddaughters – Freddi, Samantha and Jodie – who have also inherited “The Book” over time. Through their time-travels, the six kids periodically bump into one another and help each other to locate “The Book” while outsmarting their adversaries so they can warp back home. The show embeds interesting historical facts in a way that blends action, adventure and fun that appeals to a young audience.
