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 shows educational content includes Egyptology and socio-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. The primary objective of this program is for educational and informational purposes, targeted to children aged 9-14. In compliance with the Children's Television regulations that became effective 1/2/97, the Discovery Kids On NBC programs feature an on-air icon indicating that each program is "educational and informational" for children. This "E/I" icon is displayed at the beginning of each broadcast, as well as identified to program listing services.

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.

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. Darcys 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. The primary objective of this program is for educational and informational purposes, targeted to children aged 9-14. In compliance with the Children's Television regulations that became effective 1/2/97, the Discovery Kids On NBC programs feature an on-air icon indicating that each program is "educational and informational" for children.

Flight 29 Down is about a small, chartered plane that carries a group of eleven across the South Pacific for an eco-camping class trip to the desert island of Micronesia. Before they can join the rest of their class at the destination, 29 DWN malfunctions and the pilot/camp counselor has to make an emergency crash landing on a remote island somewhere in the South Pacific. With nothing but their camping gear, a limited supply of resources, and each other, the group tries to come to grips with the situation that challenges them with intelligence and instinct. As they confront the false perceptions they have of themselves and one another, the group realizes that they must learn how to live and work together in order to survive. The show carries a powerful social-emotional message that draws upon the complexities of human behavior and social relationships, in which adolescents struggle to define themselves and their roles in a social group, while learning how to work together to deal with the harsh reality that faces them. The primary objective of this program is for educational and informational purposes, targeted to children aged 9-14. In compliance with the Children's Television regulations that became effective 1/2/97, the Discovery Kids On NBC programs feature an on-air icon indicating that each program is "educational and informational" for children.
