===1983-1989: The "One to Grow On" era===
From 1983 to 1989, [[One to Grow On]] PSAs were shown after the end credits of every show or every other children's show. ''One to Grow On'' focuses on [[ethical]] and [[personal safety]] dilemmas and attempts to teach viewers how to solve them. The segments are hosted by the stars of NBC primetime series, including [[Michael J. Fox]] and [[Justine Bateman]] from ''[[Family Ties]]'', [[Mr. T]] and [[Dwight Schultz]] from ''[[The A-Team]]'', [[Soleil Moon Frye]] from ''[[Punky Brewster]]'', [[David Hasselhoff]] from ''[[Knight Rider (1982 TV series)|Knight Rider]]'', [[Kim Fields]], [[Nancy McKeon]], [[Lisa Whelchel]], and [[Charlotte Rae]] from ''[[The Facts of Life (TV series)|The Facts of Life]]'', [[Richard Moll]] from ''[[Night Court]]'', [[Malcolm Jamal-Warner]] and [[Tempestt Bledsoe]] from ''[[The Cosby Show]]'', [[Perry King]] from ''[[Riptide (TV series)|Riptide]]'', [[Joel Higgins]] and [[Rick Schroder]] from ''[[Silver Spoons]]'', [[Kadeem Hardison]] from ''[[A Different World (TV series)|A Different World]]'', and [[Betty White]] from ''[[The Golden Girls]]''). In an unusual move, [[Rene Enriquez]] from the adult oriented prime time show ''[[Hill Street Blues]]'' also hosted a segment.
The PSAs begin with an animated sequence that leads into an animated TV on which an actor appears. After the actor introduces himself or herself, a live-action sequence appears, in which a child faces an ethical dilemma. ''One to Grow On'' cuts back to the actor, who explains to the viewer how to solve the problem. The child then rectifies the situation. The actor ends the segment by saying, "And that's One to Grow On."
''One to Grow On'' was replaced by ''[[The More You Know]]'' in September 1989.
