Kids Incorporated ...K I D S YEAH!
Kids Incorporated was a kid's TV show that ran from 1984 to 1996. The first two seasons were on NBC and the remaining seasons aired on the Disney Channel.
The main characters of the show ranged in age from 8 through mid teens. The show revolved around their band, named Kids Incorporated, which performed regularly at a local hangout called The P*lace. They played PG rated versions of pop music of the time. The songs usually had some connection to the plot of the episode.
I was a child of the 80s.
This was one show I could not miss when I was a kid. Singing and dancing and cute boys...what else could I ask for? When I was in 3rd grade I wanted to be Stacy's best friend and I may or may not have had a dream involving a fort made from tumble mats with Mickey inside it. LOL Gloria, Renee, The Kid...I loved all of them and wished I could go to The P*lace to meet 'em.I watched every year until their hiatus in 1990. By then the cast had changed completely and I was getting too old for it. It's fun to remember now though. :)
Lyrics to the theme song
Everybody look around hear the sound,Something special's going to come your way
We got something that is new that is true,
We got something just for you today
All around the nation, whoa oh, we're the new sensation
Have you heard, have you heard, have you heard
We're Kids Incorporated K I D S
Yeah Kids Incorporated K I D S
Whoa oh looks like we made it, we're kids incorporated
K I D S Kids Incorporated, we're gonna have fun
K I D S Kids Incorporated for everyone
We're Kids Incorporated K I D S
Yeah Kids Incorporated K I D S
Whoa oh looks like we made it, we're kids incorporated
K I D S YEAH!

- The reason why Jerry Sharrell left after the 1984-1985 season is because he had creative differences with the showrunners. He thought "it was going to be about a band trying to make it big". Which the show wasn't as they, from my understanding, were less than fortunate kids (Richie and Connie) or came from broken homes (Anastasia).

- Yes indeed. This show was way better than the crap thats on Disney now. Excluding, Jett Jackson and Even Stevens. This is when they also had mad talen to back up their vocal skills. Well, most of them.

- To me, Kids Incorporated is the greatest kids television show that ever aired in the 1980's. It launched a few great careers. There will never be another show like it. They tried it with a newer version of the Mickey Mouse Club, which essentially piggy-backed off of Kids Inc. for 7 years. Tom Lynch was a television genius when he started the show and I always have great memories of the first few years. The later 1990's shows didn't really impress me too much, but hey those are still a part of the history. The best members of the group will always be Stacy Ferguson, Jerry Sharell, Martika, Ryan Lambert, Rahsaan Patterson and my personal favorite, Renee Sandstrom. Plus, Moosie Drier was the best as soda jerk when he played "Riley". To this day, I will always hold Kids Incorporated in high regard. There will never be another Kids Inc., even if I brought it back, which wouldn't be the same.

- I too loved the show. Every once in a while I think about that show and wonder about the cast. When I was little and watching it I wondered why Jerry Sharell left after the first season. I really didn't care for Ryan. I hate when there are "new comers". I still watched it though even though Jerry left. I think there should be a reunion on TV about shows like Kids Inc. Even the new Mickey Mouse Club that came on in the late 80's I think it was.
When that group "Black Eyed Peas" came out some years back, I had no idea that was Stacy Ferguson! I was shocked to learn that! Time sure does fly! Everyone in that cast looks so different now!

- I loved the show growing up. I didn't like it after Martika left it though.
Also, I wish they had given the background dancers more attention.
