Stories from the Vaults
Host Tom Cavanagh ventures beyond exhibit halls into the back rooms, high-tech vaults and cutting-edge labs of the world's most renowned museum complex to showcase the Smithsonian's rarely-seen treasures and the brilliant, fascinating people working behind-the-scenes who care for them and help unlock their secrets. In so doing, Cavanagh and the curators tell extraordinary stories of American culture and heritage. Some include items donated to the nation -- President Teddy Roosevelt, novelist John Steinbeck, and comedienne Phyllis Diller all donated collections ranging from animal skins to invertebrates to jokes. Cavanagh also looks at Smithsonian superlatives -- "The Most Misunderstood" (the art of taxidermy), "The Best" (a beautifully preserved Stradivarius cello), and "The Tiniest" (1500 pages of the Bible reduced to one image the size of a dime) in the museums of the Smithsonian Institution. Other topics include unique homes, beauty, "firsts," and even life after death. See Smithsonian Channel(TM) HD TV for more details.
Nature Tech
Humans have traditionally used technology to solve the problems of life, but this approach has caused problems for the planet. A new field, "bio- memetics," brings technology and nature together, by looking to nature for answers to mysteries it has already solved. Different stories include travels to important university research centers in the U.S. and abroad to see how birds' wings provide sophisticated lessons for airplane manufacturers; how sharks' skin shows an underwater energy efficiency that can be duplicated in swimsuits for the Olympic Games; and how robot technology and even tire manufacturers are learning about leg sensors, climbing vertical surfaces, walking upside down, and extreme energy efficiency from flies, roaches, stick insects, ghost crabs, tree frogs, geckos and caribou. See Smithsonian Channel(TM) HD TV for more details.
CritterQuest
Twenty-two-year-old naturalist Peter Schreimer introduces 5-to-12 year olds to the wonderful, icky world of creepies and crawlies that lurk just beyond the doorstep. This series features projects that children can learn to do, and teaches an appreciation of nature. See Smithsonian Channel(TM) HD TV for more details.
America's Treasures
This special is inspired by the National Museum of American History's special exhibit of 150 of the most unique objects in the Smithsonian's collection, combining to define the American experience over the past 200 years. Featured are some of the most unique objects in the Smithsonian's collection -- from Kermit the Frog, Jackie Kennedy's inaugural gown, Dorothy's ruby slippers, and a Swanson's TV dinner tray, to Alexander Graham Bell's first telephone and "Star Wars"' R2-D2. The program tells the stories behind the key objects, and describes how they have changed our lives and shaped our culture. See Smithsonian Channel(TM) HD TV for more details.
Loose at the Zoo Golden Tamarins
A family of five monkeys has an usual living arrangement for zoo animals - they're loose. Two parents and three kids have set up home in a tree on the SMITHSONIAN'S National Zoo's grounds in Washington, D.C. with no cages to contain them. The program chronicles their adventures, and tells of the race to save the species.

Paz the Penguin
Get Ready... Get Set... Start your preschooler off on a life-long love of learning!
Ready Set Learn! is full of the skills that promote optimism, persistence and resilience... the skills your preschooler needs to get started on a lifelong love of learning!
Paz features Paz the Penguin, a 5-year-old penguin boy and the delightful new companion and host of Ready Set Learn! Discovery Kids' preschool block. RSL's pint-sized penguin has a big imagination and looks at the world with the wide-eyed optimism, energy and curiosity that is inherent in preschoolers. Appearing at the top of each and every half-hour of programming in 8-minute story and curriculum-based episodes, Paz provides a familiar touchstone for the viewing audience throughout each morning of Ready Set Learn!
Each Paz episode is designed to help preschoolers develop the beliefs, skills and behaviors that encourage an optimistic and resilient approach to the challenges that learning and living present. Paz uses this general learning strategy as a vehicle to model many other skills, such as introducing children to content area information, stimulating cognitive skills, and enhancing interpersonal and intrapersonal understanding. Content areas include, but are not limited to: literacy, decoding, numeracy, science, geography, social studies, music, art and dance.

Sue Castle, Executive Producer, on why a mother of two grown daughters likes working on a TV show for teenagers:
"When we started the series in 1991, I talked with hundreds of teens to find out what they were concerned about. A great many of them were angry that the media only portrays them as troublemakers. They felt they were getting a bad rap-which they were. So we decided to focus on teens who are making positive choices in their personal lives and making important contributions to their schools and communities. Not only does this approach encourage young people to do the same, but it also changes the perceptions of adult viewers... who will hopefully find that instead of a problem, today's young people are a wonderful resource for today and a bright hope for tomorrow."
