Kenny the Shark is an eight foot tall shark who lives on land with his owner, 10-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 Kenny did wrong. Their resolution of the problem offers the educational message for each episode of the show.

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.

Boys and girls get to show how well they know each other, how effectively they can manage a budget, and how skillfully they can execute a design plan in Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls. Each week a boy or girl will be given two days and $5,000 to complete a renovation of their partner's "room". The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a club house, but the "designer" has to show his or her knowledge of the other person's preferences, hobbies, and lifestyle to come up with a good design. Then, the challenge of balancing the budget and figuring out the renovation process begins. Participants will 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.

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.

29 Down is the name of the 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 the class for their eco-camping adventure, 29 Down 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 through 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 their roles in a social group while learning how to cooperate with one another as they grapple with the challenges that force them to gain awareness of themselves and the harsh reality that faces them.

"Endurance" is an engrossing program that shows the target audience succeeding at several different physical, intellectual and strategic challenges in order to win a fabulous travel prize. Each of the 12 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 both social skills and life skills for achieving success with your goals.

Teen Kids News is the first kid-to-kid newscast, created for and delivered by children. This program meets the need of children whose sophistication and curiosity about their world is motivated by the information explosion. They have the interest; they have opinions; but they also have a healthy skepticism about adult explanations, which tend to be either condescending or overly complex. A cast of engaging and intelligent African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Caucasian male and female child actors interact with each other and connect to the viewers.
