The Real Reason Disney Let Kids Incorporated Fade

Kids Incorporated hit Disney Channel screens in 1986, ran back-to-back with MMC every weekday, and quietly became the longest-running show in the network's history. But Disney didn't own it. MGM did. And when a theme park deal went sour between the two companies, one of these shows got the full Disney machine behind it — and the other got buried.

Everybody remembers the All New Mickey Mouse Club. Britney. Justin. Christina. That legendary 90s star factory. But what if it wasn't the original?

Kids Incorporated ran for nine seasons on Disney Channel. It launched the careers of Fergie, Martika, Mario Lopez, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. It was the network's longest-running show. And then it just... disappeared.
