"Pajanimals" are a group of four preschool aged puppets who live together in a house with their off-screen mother and father. We meet them in the bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they show us their nightime routine of brushing their teeth and having quiet conversation before falling off to sleep. The quiet time always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated during the adventure and the children return home confident, getting ample rest for today and facing their issues tomorrow.

The learning becomes all the more impactful because young viewers can readily relate to Oscar. He's bright and fun-loving and like all kids, he not perfect.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. "Tree Fu Tom" is a live action/animated series about a little boy who lives in a rural area and has a rich fantasy life in the woods behind his home. Tom uses specific movements to summon up magic powers that permit him to morph into an animated hero and fly around in Treetopolis, the fantasy version of his woods. While in Treetopolis, Tom and his friends, Ariella, Twigs, Squirmturn and Zigzoo will invariably run into a problem or disaster that needs fixing. Tom calls upon the audience to practice original dance moves that will bring him "Big World" magic so he and his friends can resolve their challenge of the day. Educational messages reinforce positive socio-emotional content, with examples that model: being loyal to good friends, knowing how to ask for help, doing the right thing instead of what is convenient, making the effort to share rather than being selfish, or relying on teamwork in order to accomplish a goal. This program is specifically designed to serve the early educational and informational needs of children ages 2-5, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, regularly scheduled between 7a and 10p and is identified on air as educational and informational, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.

The quiet time always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated during the adventure and the children return home confident, getting ample rest for today and facing their issues tomorrow.
