2 Carton Series whose names I can't remember

It's about two cartoon that ran on cartoon network for a brief period as much as I can remember. Anyway:

1. The first series is about the adventures of a family that can travel through time together. They have a special type of book on the attic which enables them to travel through time and while in that time period they would assume the roles of the inhabitants from that time period. I think they would become protagonists of one of the stories in the book. The opening sequence was always (as much as I can remember) them going up the attic, the book would open wide and they would all fly around in the attic and through the window holding hands together and in some point the episode would start naming the time and location and then they would be just doing their business in the episode. I think it's either an Italian or French cartoon from he 80's or maybe early 90's.

2. The second series is an episodic one in which every episode is a different story for itself. I remember mostly three episodes.
The first one is about a spider high school which is located in an actual human high school, it's about the students and their adventure with into the forbidden human part of the school. There are the cool kids who play in a rock band and the nerdy guy who plays the flute and normally the cool kids make fun of him for it but in the end he saves the day so at the big high school concert they let him play in the band.
The second episode I remember is about a spoiled prince who wanted everything to be done solely on his whim. One day it's was raining when the prince wanted it to be sunny so he made the local wizard change the climate, however the wizard warned him that such a change would have consequences for the prince because he is interfering in the natural way of things. When the wizard did his thing a last bolt of lighting turned the prince either into a fish or frog (I can't remember exactly which) and from that point he had to survive as animal in the completely different surrounding. He was helped and rescued by a girl in the end.
In the third episode, a young boy in his room is watching the starts at night wondering what goes up above then suddenly a star falls down an it turns out the star is an actual person who needs to get back up so she can participate in the stat people talent show or something like that. The adventure goes from them getting back to the sky into the star realm and then helping here participate in the competition avoiding all of the foes wishing to stop her. In the end of the episode the boy is looking at the night sky when the stars are shining brightly and you can see the star girl's head being shaped and I think the narrator says something like "A new star is born." and that's the end of the episode.
Basically every episode was a completely different story for itself. I thinks it was maybe an American show made in the 90's.
