One to Grow On is an educational

end credits of NBC cartoons, such as ABC did with Schoolhouse Rock! and CBS with In the News
.

The public service announcements began with an animated sequence that leads into an animated TV on which an actor appears. After the actors introduced themselves (which, until 1986, was followed by a 30-second commercial), live-action sequences followed, in which a child faced an ethical dilemma. One to Grow On then cut back to the actor, who explained to the viewer how to solve the problem. The child then either had to own up to the consequences of the action or make an effort to rectify the situation. The actor ended the segment by saying, "And that's One to Grow On."

One to Grown On received an

Emmy Award in 1987.[1] The programming segment was replaced by The More You Know
in September 1989.

Segment hosts

The segments were hosted by the stars of NBC primetime series, including from:

Although many of the celebrities featured were from sitcoms or shows that kids were familiar with,

First Lady Nancy Reagan likewise hosted a 1986 segment encouraging kids to "Just Say No" to drugs and alcohol. A few segments featured a young Jaleel White
as one of the child actors.
