medis I used to watch this show religiously on the Disney Channel in California when my now 17 year old son was little. I loved it and even though it was cheesy, I have no shame in being a fan. The kids were super talented and years later, I would see different ones 'pop up' in various places in the world of music and performance. One such was Martika and her hit "Toy Soldier". Also, Wild Orchid, a girl-group trio, was members of the Kids Inc. cast. We can't forget Love Hewitt who later became known as Jennifer Love Hewitt. The plots usually involved some sort of problem that they would solve. Of course, they would always learn a valuable lesson from each of their dilemmas. The children were portrayed as loving friends and showed kindness to one another instead of shallow, back-biting brats that we see a lot of now. They also did high quality covers of all kinds of pop music. My favorite was the time they did "Pink Cadillac". I wish they would bring it back.

mfloyd-3 I have never seen this show I would like very much to have a chance to see it. I've written to the Disney channel and requested that they bring this show back on the air. I've also written to the Hallmark channel and asked that they bring this show back. I read about this show before and I hear it was a big hit. This show was such a hit that there has been an online petition to have it brought back on the air. I've signed the petition myself even though I've never seen the show. I also wrote to the KSMO WB 62 network as well asking them to bring this show back on the air. I always tune in on the Disney channel to see if they have brought back the show.

atomicseasoning Yeah I remember the show some anyway. I do sort of remember watching it on Saturdays or in syndication or something back in the mid 80s, then later seeing it on the Disney Channel previews. (How long did Kids Inc. run, a decade?)I remember those corny kids and their pop songs, especially the boy who called himself "The Kid"...and who I thought was the person Michael Jackson was referring to in the 1983 song 'Billie Jean'. You know the lyric: "...She said I am the one, but 'The Kid' is not my son..." (although 'The Kid' seemed to act like he was, Jacko. lol)Anyway what happened to some of the kids after the show? I know Jennifer Love Hewitt went on to 'Party of Five' and other teen/young adult movies, etc. Stacy went on to pop trio 'Wild Orchid', which the only thing I ever saw them do was host this show called "Great Pretenders" (Sat. mornings on ABC Family from 1999-2001) where kids under 18 could lip sync to their favorite pop/rock/or oldies tune, and even dress the part. Someone else mentioned Matinka, and I even noticed Mario Lopez was a dancer on 'Kids Inc.' before he was 'Slater' on 'Saved By The Bell', but what did happen to everyone else? (Obscurity obviously.)

JZvezda KIDS Incorporated is what would have happened had the 90210 gang been a kids band in the 80's.The KIDS were actually a neverending Menudo-style lineup of tweenie-boppers, who performed as the house-band at a Peach Pit style malt-shop/hangout for rugrats. They sashayed across stage in their large, over-sized, neon colored blouses and tight black leggings. They rocked out on their guitars and keyboards, with enough dramatic energy to suggest that they thought the instruments *really* were plugged in, and they *really* were playing them. The KIDS covered our not-so-favorite hits from Casey's Top 40, and we tuned in every week to see which songs they were going to put to a slow torturous death.KIDS gave us Marta Marerro, before she washed the 20 lbs. of 'L.A. Looks' out of her hair and became pop-goth princess Martika. I prefer the old Martika, in all her satin jacket, giant brooch-wearing, neon leg-warmer glory. She was sassy and saucey and we worshipped her and her Crayola make-up, and we kept hoping her pirouettes would go awry and she'd fly off stage.And you had to love "The Kid" (no, he was not played by Prince). "The Kid" marched around with attitude and threw shade and impersonated Diana Ross. Luvvem! There was also this dude named Riley, who made way-awesome yogurt-frappe' and seemingly loved steroids. I think he owned or managed the club or something. He helped the KIDS through life-altering crises like:*Which song should the band do tonite-- "We Got The Beat", "Rhythm Of The Night" or "Gloria?"*Stacey is like, sooooo tired of being a back-up singer. If she doesn't get to sing lead, like, NOW...she is going to barf out her retainer and go solo!*Ohmahgawd...there's a leprechaun next to the gelatto machine and he's all like, "Where's me lucky pot-o-gold?" (I loved that episode...the leprechaun was "Isaac", the evil dwarf guy from "Children Of The Corn"!!!)Damn I miss this show. We hated the KIDS and we loved them too. We sang along with them and then secretly wished the roof would collapse on top of them. The Saturday morning TV universe is a stark, empty void without KIDS intoxicated.
