Kid's Incorporated



In the mid to late 80's, there was an amazing show on the Disney Channel. Most of you will probably remember it. It was called Kid's Inc. Ok, I don't really expect anyone to remember it, but it was cool.

My sister and I were talking on Sunday and the topic of this show came up for some reason. I don't really remember any specific episodes of the show. I know the basic premise was a bunch of kids who sang and danced, kind of like The Mickey Mouse Club. All I have of the show, is a vague recollection of the opening credits.

Regardless of my memory lapse, I do remember that MJ and I LOVED that show. We watched it whenever we could. We idolized those kids and wanted to be them.

Here comes the scary part. We would dress in our play dress up clothes and pretend we were the people on the show. We had a card table that we would set up and use as our stage. The two of us would be decked out in full 80's garb and stand on that table and sing our heads off and dance till the cows came home(I don't know why I just made that reference). If you've never had the pleasure of seeing me dance, I'll just inform you, it isn't pretty, much less when I'm constricted to a card table.

What amazes me to this day is that we never died. You wouldn't know it to look at us now, but Molly and I were not small kids. We loved our food, and it showed. I would love to find that card table today and try to stand on it and see how long it would take to break. My parents must have seen our pudgy legs jumping on it one day and had it reinforced so it wouldn't collapse under us.

"we're kids incorporated, K I D S, we're kids incorporated, K I D S, looks like we made it, we're kids in cor por ateeeeeeed!" I totally loved that show. It always started with the camera going through the front doors, which were blue. The kids always learned some sort of lesson in each show, like how to be honest and why it's a bad reason to cheat on a test. I think that Jennifer Love Hewitt was on that show!

Casey, I love that you're as pathetic as me. I love My Super Sweet 16 too. I just didn't want to admit it on Dustin's blog.

I also loved it. Yes, Jennifer Love Hewitt was on the show. And so was Eric Balfour. And Martika. And Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. Martika was also in Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.
