Referring to your post about the story with Cleopatra and third-graders, are you sure that Methos has a good enough handle on modern-day kid-friendliness? :) Maybe he writes the main ideas for each show and someone else vets them for anything objectionable?
As for Hysteria, I remember it coming on before school. I was probably above the targeted age range, but in my family, all the kids ended up watching the same shows and movies. As the oldest, I was watching kids shows long after I probably should have grown out of them, and the younger kids were allowed to watch higher-rated shows and movies at younger ages than I remember being allowed to watch such things (though probably at older ages than most kids these days). The show would pick a topic and explain in easy-to-remember ways with lots of songs about historical figures. It also included a lot of potty humor, as one of the main characters was a baby who'd frequently mess up his diaper. Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of the details of this show.
