Kuzco,
a youth who is heir to the throne of a mythical Andean country, must
graduate from Kuzco Academy before he can become Emperor of his land.
He lives with a peasant foster family and faces the intellectual,
physical and social challenges that all teens face, while also
preparing to rule justly and well. Sometimes Kuzco wonders whether
being Emperor for the rest of his days will be a pleasure or a trap.
Kuzco thwarts attempts by the nefarious Yzma and her henchman, Kronk,
to stop him from doing well in school. If Kuzco were to fail at his
class work, Yzma would become Empress. Kuzco struggles to complete his
assignments and stay on track. Only if he remains steadfast, studies
hard, learns from his mistakes, and can relate to citizens at all
levels of society, will he ascend the throne. His best friend Malina,
an excellent student, attempts to help Kuzco stay out of trouble and
achieve his goals.
Series episodes explore issues such as coping with peer pressure,
respecting authority, taking responsibility, adhering to family and
school rules, accepting differences, building self-esteem and trust.

Riley
and Todd, siblings who were raised in an orphanage after the death of
their parents, long to be adopted. They find a comic book advertisement
for Fleemco, an agency that will provide "Replacement" parents or
adults to substitute for certain individuals. Brother and sister decide
to send in the $1.98 fee in hopes of obtaining parents to replace their
lost ones. They acquire an unorthodox pair of Replacement parents, Dick
Daring and Agent K. Dick is a former daredevil stuntman and Agent K is
a British super-spy. Neither seems to know much about parenting,
although their intentions are good. Agent K's highly intelligent
automobile, C.A.R., her former spy partner, also joins the household.
Their attempts to forge a family and adjust to a new school are both
touching and comedic. Riley and Todd discover that they can call
Fleemco to request replacement of any adult whom they dislike, who is
overly strict, or who is merely uninteresting. The temporary
Replacements for teachers, neighbors or other community figures never
prove to be as exciting or fun as the siblings had hoped, and are often
immature and obnoxious. As things go awry, Riley and Todd learn that
they need adult leadership, discipline, role models, order and
structure. By the end of each story they are eager to return the
Replacement and reinstate the original adult. Stories revolve around
issues such as cooperating with household/family rules, taking
responsibility, fairness, building self-esteem, and trust.

Raven
Baxter, who has inherited her grandmother's gift of clairvoyance, is a
normal, happy young woman. Nonetheless, Raven sometimes worries that
she is a freak because of her clairvoyant abilities. She has a ten-year
old brother, Cory. They are typical siblings, with the tension and
rivalry that most siblings experience. Raven and Cory's mother is in
law school, and their father owns a small restaurant.
Raven attends an ethnically diverse San Francisco public high school.
She is responsible for the after-school safety and activities of Cory.
Her closest friends, Chelsea and Eddie, are fiercely committed to
environmental issues and sports, respectively. Raven dreams of a career
in fashion design, and the new season's episodes revolve around her
internship with an eccentric fashion designer.
Raven's parents and close friends know about her "visions". These
premonitions often prompt her to intervene before trouble occurs.
Sometimes her interventions backfire, and at other times the foreseen
events occur, bringing embarrassment or sadness. She learns valuable
lessons from her transgressions. "Visions" set up issues that the Core
episodes of this series explore, among which are sibling rivalry,
popularity, loyalty, self-acceptance, jealousy, dealing with authority,
and consequences of lying or cheating.

Thirteen-year-old
Miley Stewart, recently moved from Tennessee to Malibu, CA, leads a
double life. By day she attends public high school, along with her
older brother Jackson, but by night she is emerging pop star "Hannah
Montana". Except for her family, only her two best friends, Oliver and
Lilly, and her bodyguard know about Miley's career as a singer, and she
strives to maintain privacy, fearing that her new classmates would
treat her very differently if they knew of her stage identity. Miley
wears blonde wigs while performing, and manages to escape being
recognized. Miley's mother died three years before the story begins, so
her dad is now a single parent. He has just begun dating again. Miley
misses her mother very much. One of the songs that she writes and
performs is about the pain of growing up without her mother.
Unlike her brother, Miley is a dedicated student. At school, her
enemies are Amber and Ashley, two girls who constantly bully Miley.
Oliver and Lilly are fiercely protective of their friend. Miley has
ordinary teenage insecurities, but remains true to herself, despite the
allure of concert life, the limos, parties, and glamorous clothes. This
is in no small part due to the solid values that her father, Miley's
manager (Billy Rae Cyrus), has imparted. Tension and sibling rivalry do
occur, especially when Jackson feels that his talented sister is
getting all the attention. Stories examine social issues such as peer
pressure, integrity, family rules, jealousy, friendship, loyalty, and
issues related to bereavement.

Those
episodes of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" that air on ABC as Core
Programming deliver life lessons tailored for the older child and
"tween" audience.
Stories take place in a luxury hotel in Boston, where twelve-year-old
identical twins Zack and Cody live with their divorced mom, a lounge
singer for the Tipton Hotel. The boys attend a local public middle
school. One of the twins is polite and shy and excels in academics,
while the other, athletic and extroverted, barely scrapes by in school,
due to lack of effort. He often instigates wacky plans for outwitting
hotel authorities, caregivers, and their mother. The boy's mother dates
and would like to remarry. Their father is a professional rock musician
who is on the road much of the year, but stays in touch with his sons.
This sets up occasional parental conflicts about discipline and
expectations. Parallel stories involve two teenage girls: heiress
London Tipton, whose father owns the hotel, and Maddie, a girl who
works after school at the hotel snack bar. Unlike London, Maddie
attends a parochial girls' school and comes from a working class Boston
family.
Series episodes explore sibling rivalry, conflicts with parents,
divorce, household and hotel rules, family budget limitations,
responsibility, self-esteem, and peer pressure.
