THE SERIES

About

Crackodile & Friends is a dark comedy series built around a brightly colored 1990s children’s television show that takes its moral lessons very seriously — even when it absolutely shouldn’t.

The show is hosted by Wally “Crackodile,” a former VHS-era horror performer who approaches his role with total sincerity, misplaced confidence, and very little understanding of what is and isn’t appropriate for kids.

Episode Structure

Each episode of Crackodile & Friends centers on a specific moral topic, introduced to the audience with the straightforward confidence of a classic after-school special.

Crackodile approaches these lessons earnestly, drawing from his own experiences to explain why they matter. The stories he tells are personal, sincere, and often wildly inappropriate for the audience he’s addressing.

What unfolds is a collision between intention and execution — between what the lesson is meant to be and what it becomes once Crackodile gets involved.

Narrative Structure

The series moves between two timelines:

• 1990s studio segments — the children’s show as it is taped: handmade sets, bright colors, awkward pacing, and moral lessons delivered straight to camera.
• 1980s flashbacks — moments from Crackodile’s earlier career: bad gigs, worse decisions, and the experiences that shaped the person now trying to give advice to kids.

What Crackodile teaches and what Crackodile remembers are constantly intersecting — sometimes accidentally, sometimes disastrously.
