Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Floogals is a animated show starring three aliens--Fleeker, Flo, and Boomer--who have been sent to earth to explore, investigate, discover and report their findings to their superiors at Floogal headquarters. The diminutive Floogals are no taller than a large safety pin and their visual perspective is literally the point of view of the show. With the multiple challengs of their size and ignorance of all things Hooman (that's Floogal-speak for human), the Floogals have a lot of work on their hands. They are engaged in the dual process of discovery and problem solving as nothing on earth is familiar to them. Much like young children, they begin by encountering new and then go through a comedic multi-step process of watcing, listening, touching, and note-taking until they've figured out what and how their new discovery fits into he Hooman universe.
