The primary goal of Captain Planet is to make the environment and its protection a salient issue for young viewers. The series aims to introduce 6 to 10-year-olds to the idea that all elements of the environment are interconnected, that most human behavior affects the environment, and that each individual has the power to take action that will help protect the environment. In each episode, Captain Planet and the Planeteers respond to a real ecological crisis somewhere on the planet, crises often precipitated by one of a rogues gallery of larger-than-life Eco-Villains. Part magic, part science but always based on environmentally sound principles and facts our stories make it easy for young viewers to relate to environmental and ecological issues by focusing on the personal conflicts and jeopardy experienced by our sympathetic young characters, the Planeteers. In addition, in every episode the Planeteers explicitly explain how individuals have the power to make a difference as they promote environmental action on the part of young viewers. From reducing consumption, to recycling, to exercising good judgment in our daily lives the lessons offered by the Planeteers are designed to encourage young viewers to play an active role in helping to protect the environment. The program is regularly scheduled and airs between the hours of 7:00A and 10:00P. The program is 30 minutes in length and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to 6 to 10 year olds, at the beginning of each broadcast and through each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guides.

Imagine five troll girlz on the cusp of adolescence
their gems (gemstones that reside in the navel of every Troll female) have begun to glow. In the Troll world, a glowing gem is a sign of an emerging ability to work magic. It is also a sign of change. Each of our five Trollz are about to discover that their glowing gem is the harbinger not only of new powers, but also of new expectations, new challenges, new responsibilities. Their power is not just a toy. Indeed, this particular group of five girlz is about to discover that their new-found magic may bring with it the power to restore the land of Trollz to its former glory. If only they can learn to use their new abilities in the right way if only they can develop the strength of character to recognize and do the right thing
and the social skills to do it effectively.
As our five young heroines struggle to master their new-found powers, they also struggle to figure out what it means to be a good citizen, a good friend, a good person. They face the kinds of issues that every child faces how to accept responsibility even at personal cost, how to deal with jealousy, what being a good friend really means, respect for differences and recognition of the power of diversity, when to ask for help and when to be self-reliant, the value of cooperation, the dangers of procrastination, the importance of being oneself. The program will be regularly scheduled and will air between the hours of 7:00A and 10:00P. The program is 30 minutes in length and will be identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to 8 to 12 year olds, at the beginning and through each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guides.
