Quick Facts One World, Genre ...

The series was classified as educational under the Children's Television Act, due to its focus on morals and relationships, alongside other NBC shows including Hang Time and Saved by the Bell. However, along with other educational programming at the time, the show had limited popularity with teenagers,[6] and was rarely viewed by elementary school aged children.[7]

Premise

The series centered on the Blakes, a family mostly made up of six racially diverse foster teenagers living under one roof under the care of parents Dave, a former professional baseball player and Karen, a sculptor.[2][3][8][9][10][11]

Reception

In a 1999 review, Alice Li of The Plain Dealer opined that One World managed to escape the formula of "overall triteness and unbelievably happy endings" that every Saturday morning teen comedy featured, though only "by a hair's breadth". Li praised the acting of Brandon Baker, Alisa Reyes and Michelle Krusiec, though criticized that of Bryan Kirkwood and Elizabeth Morehead. While describing the scripts as "cleverly written", she lamented that some lines were ineffectively delivered by actors, and concluded it was "a show with a solid story line and much less fluff" than others on the Saturday morning line-up.[5]
