Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The series Zoo Clues keeps 13-16 year-old viewers engaged for 30 minutes with a nearly infinite visual richness, animal characteristics, and wild range of animal behaviors. Beyond basic engagement, Zoo Clues leaves viewers with a meaningful perspective about animals and meaningful comparisons to their own human characteristics. The variety of the animal kingdom is truly odd and bizarre enough to read like fiction, but the clever narration of Zoo Clues links disparate information together in a way that always makes clear that what viewers see is real, natural, and relates to their own life in the real world. Grouping animal behaviors and physical characteristics into groups from a human point of view holds the series thematically together. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Come spend the day with the monsters at Wimzie's House and you'll never want to go home. All of the characters are wild and wooly on the outside--but definitely human on the inside. Ater spending a half hour in this very special home away from home, no one will leave the world of Wimzie unchanged. It is the world where the real and the imaginary come together, where self-esteem is the order of the day, where the emotions and the relationship of today's pre-schoolers, who are growing up to be ten in the year 2000, are on the top of the list of story material. Five-year-old Wimzie and her mother Graziella, an airline pilot, live in Yaya's house as does Russo, Yaya's best friend--even if Yaya is at least one hundred fifty years old (and counting) and Russo is much more than a hundred years her younger. Graziella is more than ecstatic to have found a warm and comfortable home as well as a loving environment for her daughter, Wimzie, while she is off on her somewhat unorthodox work schedule flying around the world. It is within this setting that we meet Jonas, Archibald, Loulou, Horace and Azuline as they work out the relationships that grow out of being together every day, of growing up just a little bit every day. They learn not only about themselves, but also about the world outside the door. |

Total times aired at regularly scheduled time | 26 |
Length of Program | 30 mins |
Age of Target Child Audience from | 13 years to 16 years |
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The series Zoo Clues keeps 13-16 year-old viewers engaged for 30 minutes with a nearly infinite visual richness, animal characteristics, and wild range of animal behaviors. Beyond basic engagement, Zoo Clues leaves viewers with a meaningful perspective about animals and meaningful comparisons to their own human characteristics. The variety of the animal kingdom is truly odd and bizarre enough to read like fiction, but the clever narration of Zoo Clues links disparate information together in a way that always makes clear that what viewers see is real, natural, and relates to their own life in the real world. Grouping animal behaviors and physical characteristics into groups from a human point of view holds the series thematically together. |
