Hip Hop Harry | comment |
Hip Hop Harry (2006-08) is an American children's TV show created by Claude Brooks. It takes place in an after-school community center known as the Hip Hop Central. The center is ran by an anthrophomorphic yellow bear, Harry, who teaches several children about how to live healthy, use your imagination, creativity, and friendship through Hip-Hop songs.Yeah, it's evidently a Totally Radical Barney & Friends. So much so that the actor who plays Harry, David Joyner, also portrayed Barney himself from 1991 to late 2001 (at least, physically for both, as Ali Alimi voices Harry).The children that who appear on the show (usually in a group of four per episode, but sometimes in a group of five) were Sophina, Savannah, Jay-Jay, Scott, Megan, Davide, Jake, Veronica, Katie, Kelli, Kendra, Colton, William, Elizabeth, Kiana, Tyler, and Hayden. They're backed up by a second group of children referred to in the credits as "background kids".The show premiered on Discovery Kids in September 2006, and aired on TLC's Ready Set Learn block), and lasted until 2008, with two seasons and 26 half-hour episodes. It continued to air in reruns until the Ready Set Learn block ended on October 8th, 2010, and hasn't been on American TV since.Surprisingly though, the YouTube channel of the show still actively posts videos daily, not just of the show but more recently videos of Hip Hop Harry today still doing various activities such as challenges and toy reviews. | |

Promotion to Opening Titles: Zigzagged. In each of their appearances, members of the child cast are credited with IDs featuring their first name, a mid-shot clip of them posing, and a wide-shot clip of them dancing. If it's a group of four kids, they'll be featured one at a time as cued in the opening lyrics above, but if it's a group of five, they'll all be shown in succession, with their footage trimmed down slightly. | |

Cast Herd: Some cast members appear as a group on more than one occasion, apparently in the interest of ensuring they collectively exemplify diversity on the show. as a result, the only time certain members of cast are seen together and interacting with each other on screen are when they're all dancing to the hip Hop Center together in the opening credits and when they're dancing with each other and their families in the "Do the Harry" music video. Groupings include: Sophina, Davide, Scott, and either Megan or Kelli Jake, Veronicaa, Davide, and either Elizabeth or Katie Kelli, Colton, Kendra, and William Ryan, Veronicaa, and Elizabeth Kiana and Tyler and either Savannah and Jay Jay or William and Kendra | |

When he disobeys her and does open it, Ribbons escapes out and William lies to Kendra about what happened to her, in fear she would be mad. Harry helps William realize it's not right to lie to your friends and it's important to tell the truth, so he apologizes to Kendra for lying and does so, and she forgives him. | |
