Lilo, a precocious girl of about five, and her alien pet Stitch live with Lilos sister Nani. Nani is trying to keep their little family together after the tragic death of their parents in an automobile accident. Although still a teen herself, Nani works several jobs and struggles to be an adult role model for Lilo. Two alien characters, Jumba and Pleakley, who arrived on planet Earth at the same time as Stitch, live with Nani and Lilo while pretending to be their aunt and uncle. This ploy is intended to convince the Department of Social Services that the household is well managed and there is no need for foster-care placement for Lilo.
Series episodes illustrate developmentally appropriate issues, among which are peer pressure, coping with bereavement, family and school rules and problem solving. Stories convey messages about truthfulness, responsibility, acceptance and trust. The series includes Hawaiian language, music, dance and custom, exposing our broad ABC audience to the richness of Pacific Rim culture.

"Even Stevens" explores the day-to-day interaction between seventh grader Louis, a bright and unconventional boy, his eighth grade sister Ren, whose straight-A average and mature manner belie her vulnerability, and his two best friends. Louis is naturally funny and spontaneous. He is often the instigator of a prank or scheme - much to the embarrassment of his older sister. Ren's brains and superior organization skills often make Louis feel clumsy and inadequate by comparison. They are loyal and loving siblings, although each marches to a very different beat. "Even Stevens" episodes are highly kid-relatable, focusing on family and brother-sister conflicts, responsibility, fairness, competition, goal setting, self-esteem, problems with schoolmates and parent-child interaction.

Raven, a young teen who has inherited her grandmothers trait of clairvoyance, is a normal, happy and resourceful young woman. However, at times Raven worries that she is a freak because of her clairvoyant abilities. She has a younger brother, Cory, age ten. They are typical siblings, with the tension and rivalry that most siblings experience.
Raven attends public high school. Both parents are employed outside the home. They are loving parents, and good disciplinarians. Raven is often responsible for the after-school safety and activities of her brother, Cory. Her closest friends are Chelsea and Eddie, who are fiercely committed to environmental issues and sports, respectively.
Ravens parents and closest friends know about her visions of the immediate future. The premonitions often prompt her to attempt to intervene before trouble occurs. Sometimes Ravens interventions backfire, and at other times the foreseen events come true, bringing embarrassment or sadness. Raven learns valuable lessons from her blunders and transgressions. Thus, the visions set up issues that the Core episodes of this series explore.
The series uses humor to convey strong, relevant messages about growing up. Some of the issues that are the focus of episodes are sibling rivalry, popularity, loyalty, self-acceptance, dealing with authority (school and parental), honesty, coping with jealousy, and consequences of lying or cheating.
