KIDS INCORPORATED

Someone needs to make a channel where they only play an assortment of oddball, retro kids and teens programs. Not just the handful of the most mainstream, well known stuff but the obscure and forgotten oddities as well.

I'd love to see Classic MTV play actual episodes of their old shows, like "Loveline". I think people would be interested in being able to tune-in to these things for novelty purposes and general nostalgia. Especially since people might not want to commit to full seasons of things through another service (some of these things aren't even listed as available) but love the idea of being able to watch them at random times and often, only random clips of these things are available online.

Martika was a hard-looking teenager.

R2, Drugs...They Will Be Done.

Moosie was the only one

This is the beginning of my 30-year crush on Mr. Lopez

I always thought of this as a 90s show, but then I checked wiki and discovered that it first aired in 1983. Damn,

What is the premise of this show?

R7

Kids in a singing group. Thats all I can remember about it.

Would enjoy seeing 70s ZOOM episodes

It was just kids covering the Top 40 Hits of the day — and some classic rock.

Thin "kids problems" plots in between the covers.

In addition to Mario Lopez, Fergie Ferg got her debut on KIDS, INC.

That's the Black-Eyed Peas, to you.

Two other actors I really like who got their starts on this show are Jennifer Love-Hewitt and sexy Eric Balfour:

Ha! I used to watch it back in the day. Kind of like "Glee," but with worse acting and less drama.

Ryan Lambert was sooo dreamy.

Could not believe my husband never saw the Monster Squad growing up and just watched it with him. I had a massive crush on Ryan growing up. Andre Gower was always on the C list but grew up very handsome. The MS cast all follow each other on Twitter. Ryan always seemed so macho to me as a kid, cannot imagine him being marketed today. He is almost 50 now.

If you read CDAN kids incorporated is all but named as a rape factory and according to the blind item was created for no other reason to ritually abuse kids.

I wish it would get released on DVD but the cost of clearing the music would be astronomical.

I was another one with a huge Ryan crush. He's still not bad.

It's amazing that Martika managed to hit it big with a number one hit only a couple years after leaving Kids Incorporated and then Kids Incorporated ended up doing covers of her songs.

I had a huge crush on Ryan too. I had a feeling he was fucking Stacy when they got older on the show, and she has said as much. I think she said he took her virginity.

Poor Martika had obvious issues. I think she was molested or abused and it caused eating issues for her.

Martika doesn’t look any thinner than any pop idol. She was probably heavier than Ariana Grande. Stacy and Ryan Apparently had a relationship. I really hope CDAN made up The blinds because it is beyond horrific

I still have the Kids Incorporated LP. Such a terrible show but I loved it.

I didn’t grow up in the 80’s but found a youtube channel on this as a kid and Martika was the shit!

Too bad as a pop star she never showed any of the magic and stage presence she had as a teen on kids incorporated., was she always drugged?

The Kid and Jerry from the first season were soo gay and bottoms, even as a kid I could tell..

Jerry is a total homo and turned out cute

I forgot how hot Ryan was... luckily not too much Fergie in this clip and if I may be wrong, but I think the girl all the way on the right in the blue dress with the pony-tail is Connie, a/k/a Li Sing the little foster child Suzanne didn't want to give up on Designing Women.

Martika looks very sickly. She does look like she has an eating disorder.

I'm an 80s kid and thought the show was lame. So did all my siblings and friends. We made fun of it.

OP, I bet you also loved Saved by the Bell, Charles in Charge, and that dumb show about the dads and daughters with those silly Olsen twins taking turns in the toddler role (forgot the name), amirite?

This is my favorite Ryan song. The Kid does look like he's in love with him as they prance around eachother. Martika's career is quite trangic. She knocked Madonna off #1 just a few years after the show ended and then quickly faded into obscurity.

Best singer was out gay Rashaad Patterson reportedly the lover of Tevin Campbell.
