So I was searching the FCC KidVid Public Database (link: http://licensing.fcc.gov/KidVid/public/report/10/query.faces) to see what some TV stations are airing as E/I and when I searched "KSCI" for the filing periods of "2010 Q2" to see what Los Angeles Japanese Channel (KSCI digital sub-channel 18.2) airs as E/I, I found that they air Ultraman Tiga as E/I!

Here's what it says about how Ultraman Tiga is E/I:

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming

Ultraman Tiga: Set in the years 2007-2010 (2049 in the U.S. dub), giant monsters and conquering aliens start to appear, as was foretold by an apocalyptic prophecy about an uncontrollable chaos over the Earth. Facing the threat, the TPC (Terrestrial Peace Consortium) is created, such as its branch, GUTS (Global Unlimited Task Squad). Through a holographic message in a capsule found by researchers, the GUTS gets knowledge about a golden pyramid built by an ancient civilization. At the site, three statues of a race of giants who defended early human civilization on Earth about 30 million years ago from Super-Ancient Monsters and other forces of darkness are found, but two of them were destroyed by the monsters of Golza and Melba. The third one gains life from the spiritual energy of officer Daigo, descendent of the ancient race. Daigo and the remaining statue merge into a single being, made of light. Shortly after defeating the two monsters, Daigo is told by the hologram about the prophecy from 30 million years in the past, that a great evil that not even the giants could stop, destroyed the ancient civilization. The program is in Japanese.

Maybe the fact that this is referring to the original Japanese version is the reason?
The program is in Japanese.Otherwise, if this is classed as E/I, so should Power Rangers.

In other words, its meant to be schools programming, not Hannah freaking Montana! ABC abused the system.

So I looked at the Wikipedia article for Ultraman Tiga and it looks like KSCI copy its description of how the show is E/I from the plot section of the Wikipedia article.
