BizKid$

BizKid$ is a public TV series that airs on PBS. It is designed to teach kids about money and business. Topics include being a smart consumer, saving and investing for the future, credit cards, economic cycles, and marketing. The show's motto is "where kids teach kids about business". The show isn't produced regularly, but as of February 15, 2010, the show is back in production for at least five new episodes.

Created by the producers of the popular educational show "Bill Nye the Science Guy", this show teaches basic financial principles that kids should learn, but the presentations are interesting and seem relevant. It's a great course of study for kids and parents who want to learn more about business in a fun way.

Sonny with a Chance (Disney Channel)

Sonny Munroe is a friendly, sweet teenager from Wisconsin who got a role in the sketch comedy show "So Random!" Sonny and her mom move to Hollywood to take advantage of this big break. This sitcom captures the influence the show has on Sonny's life at home and at work, and also includes humorous sketches from the show within a show.

Like most Disney Channel original series, Sonny with a Chance is filled with moral stories and good influences from adults, along with the usual stereotypical class--the clueless school principal, bitter teacher, and teenage boys who can't stop checking out cute girls, but who don't quite know how to interact with the opposite sex. It is a cute show that will appeal to many tween girls and some boys.

I watched the episode "Cheater Girls" (Season 1, episode 5).

The show website, http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/sonnywithachance/, is full of fun games and activities as well as video clips from the show and some full episodes.
