UPSCALE

Spoiled rich kids who attend classes equipped with Louis XIV antique desks . . . a female James Bond who uses her day job (glamorous fashion model) as a cover for her daring espionage activities . . . “astromarines” who defend the galaxy with deadly weapons.

They make up an animated TV package due next fall--”Beverly Hills Teens,” “Tiffany Blake” and “U.S. Space Force”--that the producers contend provide “wholesome” role models for kids.

“Childrens’ programming these days is dominated by neo-militaristic, boy-toy animation,” said Ritch Colbert, president of Access Syndicate, which is partnered with DIC Enterprises and Bohbot and Cohn Advertising. “Just look at the things being offered--Silverhawks, Thundercats, GI Joe, the list is endless. Where are the Tom and Jerrys, the Flintsones, the rich characters for children to nurture and develop and identfy with?”

Are those money-happy “Bev Hills Teens”--Troy, Chrissie, Raven and Pierce--really such terrific examples?

“Well, they may be rather more wealthy than most teen-agers,” said Colbert, “but they have typical teen-agers’ problems and the important thing is they are fully realized personalities.”

And Tiffany Blake, spy-model? She’s “no bimbo.”

What about those deadly “astromarines” of “U.S. Space Force?”

“Yes,” said Colbert, “but they don’t kill other people--just aliens. There is a difference, you know.”
