* ''Series/DoctorWho'': As odd as it seems in retrospect, this show started out as edutainment back in 1963. The show was originally meant to alternate between stories set in the past that would teach kids history, and those set in the future or on other planets that would teach science (hence two of the first three companions being a history teacher and a science teacher). Then the Daleks showed up in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks the show's second story]], became massively popular, and changed the emphasis of ''Doctor Who'' to pure sci-fi with scary monsters and social commentaries rather than education.

** Edutainment still shows up sporadically. For an science example, "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E6TheMoonbase The Moonbase]]" (1967), written by an actual scientist, contains a scene where Ben lectures Polly (and the audience) in how the design of spray bottles works, and a scene where Polly explains some basic organic chemistry to Ben concerning solvents, plastic and nail varnish. "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E6DemonsOfThePunjab Demons of the Punjab]]" (2018) is a modern case of an episode dedicated to teaching history, in which our heroes get tangled in UsefulNotes/ThePartitionOfIndia and the monsters are relegated to a brief B-plot where it turns out they're just there to observe history and have no desire to interfere or antagonize.
