Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Take a riding stable devoted to teaching dressage to young people, mix in half a dozen "tweens" from very different backgrounds, and a stable full of jumping horses who, when people are not around talk to each other; add to the conversation the voices of one supercilious cat, one very curious pig, and a wise, old barnyard-dog, and you have a recipe for an almost unending supply of stories about how kids can learn to get along, accept responsibility, and develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and a strong, positive character. This isn't just a stable where kids learn to ride and take care of their animals. It's a microcosm ... a small world in which three pre-teen girls and a boy encounter and learn to resolve many of the same kinds of problems and issues that most kids face in their daily lives as they struggle to become positive, productive adults.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This series is the ultimate child safety show -- an animated series that uses action adventure storylines, comedy, and songs to impart vital health and safety information, and promote the cognitive, personal and pro-social qualities necessary for youngsters to carry them out. As viewers observe the Danger Rangers -- Sully, Kitty, Burble, Squeeky, Gabriella, Burt and their trulty robot Fallbot -- successfully helping those in jeopardy and vanquishing the careless characters who put them there, by using their own powerful blend of health and safe knowledge, problem-solving smarts, and positive character traits, viewers are encouraged to adopt these qualities for themselves.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Take a riding stable devoted to teaching dressage to young people, mix in half a dozen "tweens" from very different backgrounds, and a stable full of jumping horses who, when people are not around talk to each other; add to the conversation the voices of one supercilious cat, one very curious pig, and a wise, old barnyard-dog, and you have a recipe for an almost unending supply of stories about how kids can learn to get along, accept responsibility, and develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and a strong, positive character. This isn't just a stable where kids learn to ride and take care of their animals. It's a microcosm ... a small world in which three pre-teen girls and a boy encounter and learn to resolve many of the same kinds of problems and issues that most kids face in their daily lives as they struggle to become positive, productive adults.
