For a decade, NBC always had a Saturday morning cartoon based on live action celebrities. Gary Coleman show, punky Brewster, camp candy, gravedale high, Mr T, Kidd video, wish kid and of course kid n play
The series was created by John Semper Jr. and Cynthia Friedlob who also served as the show-runners and head-writers. They would later go on to write Kid 'N Play's third live-action feature, Class Act, for Warner Bros. Semper would later produce and be the head-writer for "Spider-Man: The Animated Series," for Marvel Films Animation.
I just met Play like two weeks ago and he was impressed that I knew about his cartoon and I'm only 27 years old. He's a very cool dude man! Thanks for this upload man!
Hard to believe, the Kid 'n' Play cartoon series is produced by Saban Entertainment, who would later go on to produce other shows like Bureau of Alien Detectors.

I remember waiting anxiously to watch this on Saturday morning at 10am! It was like Christmas. Then at children's chior practice we would talk about all the new cartoons that came out that morning.
This was huge when it first came out. When I was 10, Most of honestly didn’t care about the plot, we were just excited that Kid n Play was animated and this was the first new African American cartoon series since Fat Albert
Akin to the House Party films, Play was the less responsible member of the duo, cooking up some rich quick schemes, while Kid, the more responsible member, would usually made to clean up messes. Oftentimes the issues would be resolved by the characters' girlfriends, or sometimes by a elderly jazz musician named "Old Blue" who wore a blue beret. The lessons ranged from serious to lighter fare.

The scene with Wiz looks like the guys are doing a little sumthin sumthin to hear those voices. Play: Wiz, I don't hear nothing yet. Wiz: Here take another puff Play. Play: (inhale)Yeah, now I hear it! Even the dog looks high, lol. Sorry I couldn't resist I love poking fun at these old rare shows😄

This is what happens when you try to turn an adult-oriented IP into one for children, just to get money. Man, when I was a kid, IF (a BIG ole 'if') I watched this, I wouldn't understand nearly any of it. I would only care about the fact that it was marketed by Kid & Play. What's today's "breakfast cereal?" You won't realize it until we're done with it anyway.

Saturday morning cartoons the good ol days
I was never clear if Mureka was supposed to already be famous or something. It sounds like Herb is reading a magazine article about her
Or maybe she's in homecoming court and its from the school newspaper. I love analyzing rare shows like this.
Kid 'n Play Animated Cartoon TV Series, 31st Anniversary, since 1990.
I recognize the voice of Dawn Lewis from A Different World.
Correct!

I found it! Yasssssss 👐👐👐👐
