An interesting format and a personable teen host make this program a great one for teaching the basics of responsibility to young people. Katie, the shows host, tells the viewer her own story of being irresponsiblelittle things like making her friends wait for her while she gets ready for school or not taking the garbage out, even though her mother asks her 23 times. She also shares her experience with being irresponsible in a bigger waynot wearing adequate protection while rollerbladingand the disastrous effect it had on her life. The broken leg Katie gets from her rollerblading accident keeps her laid up for quite a while and gives her a lot of time to think. With help from her friends (and a cool nurse at the hospital), Katie creates a formula for improving responsibilityThought (T2) multiplied by Actions (A), divided by Time (t) equals Results (R). Katies accident and this formula get her onto a responsible track, to the delight of her friends, her parents, and herself. (20 min.) A Meridian Production.
