- the late 20th century.

Episode 10: "Tales from the Cryptkeeper"
The popular cult horror comic books from
the 1950s are adapted in this cartoon
anthology series.
Tales from the Cryptkeeper is an animated
horror children's television series made
by Canadian studio Nelvana. The series was
broadcast on ABC in the United States,
and on ITV in the United Kingdom.
It is based on the 1950s EC Comics series
Tales from the Crypt and the live action
television series of the same name,
which aired concurrently on HBO.
Intended for children, Tales from the
Cryptkeeper is significantly milder than
its live-action counterpart, and all
blood, gore, profanity and sexual content
are completely removed to be more appropriate
for the target audience. Most episodes take
place within the fictional city of
Gravenhurst, California.
The series details the Cryptkeeper telling more
kid-friendly horror stories to the viewers,
each with a teachable lesson.
The second season has the Cryptkeeper at
constant odds with rivals, and fellow EC
Comics horror hosts, the Vault-Keeper
and the Old Witch, who continually try
to steal the show from him as they didn't
have one of their own, only to have their
plans backfire. The Cryptkeeper can be
found in different locales than his mansion,
as he tries to elude his foes.
The third and final season aired in 1999.
Unlike the first two seasons, it, under
New Tales from the Cryptkeeper, aired on
Teletoon in Canada and on CBS in the
United States. This season sees the
Cryptkeeper taking a more active role,
usually by setting up situations to
teach frightening lessons to kids with
severe character flaws.

CFS: Controversial Saturday Morning Cartoons Episode Nine – Kid ‘n Play!

Episode 9 "Kid 'n' Play"
Centers on hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play. Stresses
positive role models, teaching children
cooperation and staying out of trouble.
Kid 'n Play is a 1990 animated cartoon
series based on the real-life hip hop duo
Kid 'n Play. It ran for one season on NBC
from September 8 to December 8, 1990.
On the show, Kid 'n Play were portrayed
as teenagers, along with their friend Jazzy,
their producer Hurbie and their DJ Wiz,
but their recording careers remained the
same as in real life, as did their character
traits. Production was by Marvel Productions
and Saban Entertainment.
The real Kid 'n Play appeared in live-action
wraparounds of the cartoons, but voice actors
took over for the animated versions of the duo.
The show stressed positive role models,
teaching children how to get along with each
other and stay out of trouble. Akin to the
House Party films, Play was the less responsible
member of the duo, cooking up get rich quick
schemes, while Kid, the more responsible member,
would usually be made to clean up messes.
Oftentimes the issue would be resolved by the
characters' girlfriends, or sometimes by an
elderly jazz musician who wore a blue beret
and was aptly named "Old Blue".
Also along the crew is Kid's Mohawk pet dog Hairy.
The lessons ranged from serious to lighter fare.
One of the "less serious" episodes dealt with
Kid's father under the impression hip hop is
bad and Kid not having the means to put it in
a positive light. Old Blue offers to help by
sending Kid on a trip back in time to the era
of jazz and 1920s speakeasies to help better
understand its roots.

Episode 8 "Pryor's Place"
Richard Pryor tells educational stories
of his youth at a special urban neighborhood.
In the first episode,
Richie (ostensibly Pryor as a child) is
challenged to an afterschool showdown
by Meatrack, the neighborhood bully.
Despite a reputation for profanity from
Richard Pryor, Pryor's Place was
aimed at children. Like Sesame Street,
Pryor's Place featured a cast of
puppets hanging out and having fun in a
friendly inner-city environment,
along with several children and
characters portrayed by Pryor himself.
The theme song was performed by Ray Parker Jr.,
of Ghostbusters fame, who also appeared in
the show's opening credits. 13 episodes of
Pryor's Place were broadcast on Saturdays
on CBS from September 15 to December 8, 1984.
