| 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. |
