|Jake Long, a human boy who can change into a flying, fire-breathing dragon at will, is chosen to be the first American member of an international league of superheroes like him known as the "Dragons".

|One of the most conservative pro-military and pro-American cartoons ever made.  The opening narration for the show by voice actor Jackson Beck explains the series premise: "G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring, highly-trained special mission force. Its purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra, the ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world."  The show carries themes of patriotism, friendship, and teamwork. The show's depiction of Cobra shows terrorism in a negative light, with Cobra using common terrorist tactics, such as violence and extortion.

|Based on the G.I. Joe toy line, this series stands tall as one of the most conservative, pro-military, and pro-American cartoons ever made.  The opening narration for the show by voice actor Jackson Beck explains the series premise: "G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring, highly-trained special mission force. Its purpose, to defend human freedom against COBRA, the ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world."  The show carries themes of patriotism, friendship, and teamwork. The show's depiction of Cobra shows terrorism in a negative light, with Cobra using common terrorist tactics, such as violence and extortion.  
    
The episode "Twenty Questions" paints the mainstream media in a negative light, with the media accusing the G.I. Joes of being a waste of taxpayer money, along with a conspiracy theorist claiming that Cobra is "fake" and their battles are "staged" (like the claims that 9/11 was an inside job to start the War on Terror).

|Does the title not say it all? Three young reporters (consisting of an American colonist, a British expatriate, and their cuddly French sidekick) working for the ''Pennsylvania Gazette'' newspaper witness the era of the [[American Revolution]] and its aftermath through their innocent eyes and learn what America represents.  Key figures from the era make recurring and guest appearances as well, most often [[Benjamin Franklin]] and [[George Washington]].  One of the few conservative shows on the otherwise ultra-liberal educational network.

|When Aku, an evil shapeshifting demon, devastates a boy prince's land in feudal Japan, the prince is sent around the world to train to become the ultimate samurai warrior. He returns home as a young man and sets out to use a divinely-crafted katana previously wielded by his sage father, the unnamed Emperor, to slay Aku. Before the prince can strike the killing blow, Aku opens a time portal to send him eons into the future, where the demon rules the world. The samurai adopts the name "Jack" upon hearing locals repeatedly refer to him as such and vows to fight Aku's oppression until he can return to his own time and undo Aku's future. Not only is the inventive series famous for bringing many artistic and technical innovations to animated cartoons, such as slower, more cinematic pacing and extended stretches of time without any spoken dialogue, it teaches audiences to value hard work and persistence even when goals are seemingly out of reach. Likewise, it draws a clear distinction between Jack as a paragon of good (if not a Christlike figure) who values family, friendship, and unity above all else; and Aku as the ultimate form of evil (analogous to Satan), who compulsively and relentlessly pursues his selfish ambitions because he cannot stop his own diabolical nature. In a few episodes, Jack collaborates with a brutish and boisterous but well-intentioned, unnamed Scotsman who is his sole equal in melee combat and subtly promotes the Second Amendment by using a submachine gun as both a prosthetic leg and a supplemental weapon.
