Care Bears are a group of funny, colorful bears, each with a special way of caring and a belly badge, which unleashes that bear's special caring power. The bears use their caring hearts and their belly badges to help each other and to thwart the evil plots of Grizzle, a bad bear with his own flying lair. Each Care Bears episode is designed to foster children's "emotional intelligence," defined by psychologist Daniel Goleman and other researchers as skill in five areas: knowing one's emotions; managing one's emotions; motivating oneself; recognizing emotions in others; and handling relationships. This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.

In this series, Strawberry Shortcake, a curious, self-confident leader, narrates stories of her and her friends' adventures in the richly-imagined world of Strawberry Land. Using her many positive qualities, Strawberry helps her friends, who share her values but not necessarily her ability to take a broader view, to see beyond their own self-interest. The themes of the stories are designed to have particular relevance for young viewers, focusing on such issues as friendship, fear, self-confidence, sportsmanship, trust and shyness. The pro-social messages flow naturally from the narrative, as the characters experience concrete (positive and negative) consequences of their actions. This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.

CAKE is a live-action show-within-a-show about a teenage girl by the name of Cake, who, with the help of three friends, produces a cable access show. The series is designed to provide the viewers with two integrated levels of educational and informational experiences. On one level, each episode provides actual instruction regarding specific activities, with hands-on examples related to the design and use of various fabrics, the making of clothes, the crafting of useful home, school, play, and household items, and other forms of creative expression. The other level in the episode provides an opportunity for the viewers to learn about social and emotional themes such as the value of honesty, the importance of personal worth and self-esteem, the meaning of friendship, the value of having a healthy life-style, and other prosocial concepts that are developmentally appropriate for this age-group. This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.

HORSELAND is an animated series about five girls and two boys who live in spectacular countryside that houses a farm called Horseland. Each of these main characters has a special horse whose personality is similar to its owner's.

From this background, the experiences of sharing, caring, compromise, friendship, respect, and competition emerge to provide the young viewers with social and emotional guidelines for better understanding many of the life-lessons they need to learn as they grow and develop. This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.
