Long-running (1984-1993) children's musical show which started life in Syndication through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and ended up on the Disney Channel.The series revolved around a literal five-man band (the number did inflate to six for two seasons) of children and teenagers who encountered a very random assortment of plots. Most of these were standard After-School Teen Drama stories. Every so often, however, they'd face a more outlandish adventure involving Time Travel, magic robots, Leprechauns and other, crazier things. Whatever the story involved, it'd always be punctuated by often-Bowdlerized covers of popular songs.The show was formulaic in nature: with only a few exceptions (a few all-musical "concert episodes", and once featuring kid break-dancers competing for a Karaoke Machine), each episode began with the band performing a number on-stage at "The P*lace", a local hangout with an illustrious history. (It had once been called "The Palace", and was renamed after the 'a' in the marquee had burned out.) After this, a short scene would set up the plot before the band returned to the stage to perform a second number. As the plot unfolded, two more songs would be performed off-stage, usually one solo number by whichever member of the cast was spotlighted that week (which in almost all cases is a slow ballad or love song), and one song worked into a Dream Sequence or Imagine Spot. In the final minutes, the plot would be resolved, and the band would perform a closing number on-stage, sometimes accompanied by a Montage Out of the guest characters. The third and fourth songs were always directly relevant to the plot (for example, a cover of "As Time Goes By" during a Casablanca-themed Dream Sequence), the second and fifth songs were usually linked no more than thematically, while the first number was generally unrelated to the action of the story (The final season dropped the second song for three extra minutes of dialog).The show's longevity (it predated the Disney Channel's policy of imposing a 65-episode limit), despite being aired during a period when the Disney Channel was a commercial-free premium channel (akin to HBO or Showtime), is taken by fans as evidence of the quality of writing and acting. The show launched the careers of Stacy Ferguson (aka Fergie, of The Black Eyed Peas), Mario Lopez (of Saved by the Bell), Scott Wolf (of Party of Five), Eric Balfour (of 24 and Haven), and Jennifer Love Hewitt, then only credited by her middle name. Note that the cast swapped people in and out nearly every season. So by the time the show ended, the titular fictional band was an entirely different group of people from where they started!The show has had a very convoluted production and broadcast history. During the show's first season, MGM distributed and co-produced the show alongside Lynch-Biller Productions, the production company of executive producers Thomas W. Lynch and Gary P. Biller, and K-Tel Entertainment, a music company best known for producing compilation albums advertised on television which could only be purchased through direct-response mail order by calling a toll-free number. After the first season ended, however, K-Tel filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and Hal Roach Studios, which, coincidentally, had previously collaborated with MGM on The Little Rascals and Laurel and Hardy, took K-Tel's place. At the conclusion of the second season, the show was cancelled due to low ratings in syndication. This was largely due to the local television stations that carried the show shuffling the show around to different time slots. However, reruns were picked up by CBN and they received positive ratings, which convinced Disney Channel to put the show back into production. In addition to resuming production with new episodes and using the same cast, Disney's buyout package also included the entire syndicated run. As a result, edits were made to remove fee plugs and commercial outros. After the fourth season, HRS merged with RHI Entertainment and the combined company was named Qintex after an Australian media company of the same name which had purchased a share in the new venture. The show temporarily went on hiatus after the sixth season in 1989, and returned in 1991. By this time, in addition to a major cast overhaul, Qintex had also filed for bankruptcy and RHI acquired their assets. Also during this time, Biller sold his share of Lynch-Biller Productions back to Lynch, and the company was renamed Lynch Entertainment. This continued until 1993, when the show was unofficially cancelled.Four platinum-selling albums of cover tracks by the cast and produced by K-Tel were released while the show was still in syndication. No further albums were made with the move to Disney, however, due to K-Tel's aforementioned bankruptcy.Now has a Recap page in progress. | |

Hopeless Auditionees - Parodied in the original song "Wrong for the Part" (from the 1987 season opener)note The plot has the kids attempting to find a replacement for Gloria (played by the now aged-out Martika); and has the remaining kids reacting to an odd collection of twirlers, wannabe opera singers and whistling cowboys among others, even having a Creator Cameo by Tom Lynch & Gary P. Biller. | |

Recurring Riff - Several portions of various original songs would also be used as this, among them: A slower version of the theme for particularly dramatic scenes. Portions of at least 5 original songs (among them "My Special Friend"; "Bad, Bad Trouble"; "That's What Friends Are For"note Not to be confused with the Rod Stewart song that was Covered Up by Dionne Warwick the following year; "Come the Night" and "You're My Friend"note all songs performed during the 1985 season: "My Special Friend" and "You're My Friend" by Renee Sands; "Bad, Bad Trouble" by Martika; "That's What Friends Are For '85" by Sands and Stacy Ferguson and "Come the Night" by Ryan Lambert were also used frequently as background music. | |

Recycled Soundtrack | |
| Kids Incorporated / int_405f6f52 | comment |
Recycled Soundtrack - A few examples Some songs performed by Jerry Sharell (who played Mickey) for the 1984 season were reused in the 1986 and 1987 seasons with Ryan Lambert. The original song "Music for the Modern World" debuted in the 1985 season; then was reused in 1987note still using Rahsaan Patterson's vocals from the 1985 version despite his voice having dropped slightly and finally 1988. The song "That Dream" from the 1987 episode "You've Got the Wrong Date" was originally used on the TV show Fame in their Season 3 (1984) episode "A Way of Winning" (both series were produced by MGM Television and initially had much of their music written by Michael Cruz). Another song shared by both shows was "That's Dancin'", which appeared in the Fame episode "The Rivalry" and the Kids Inc episode "The Wallflower". | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Kids Incorporated / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness The original pilot had Renee and Stacy as relatively minor characters while many of the songs were performed by miscellaneous kids at "The MaltShop". Additionally, Rahsaan Patterson was cast between the production of the pilot and the first season, resulting in additional scenes being added before the pilot was released on VHS. Also, the manager of the malt shop was named Michael and he was played by Michael Lewis, being replaced by Riley (Moosie Drier) in the first regular episode. Finally, producers Thomas W. Lynch and Gary P. Biller joined the show somewhere between the pilot and the beginning of regular series production. If you look closely, you can see above the stage area a marker labeled "Asbestos". About a month after the series premiere, it was revealed that prolonged asbestos exposure could lead to illnesses such as mesothelioma. By Season 2, the label was changed to "Fire Curtain". | |

Superstition Episode: The Season 3 premiere "O Lucky Me" features Stacy finding an old magicians ring in a trunk that she assumes is lucky, with a number of events seemingly confirming the superstitionnote such as Stacy winning a raffle and becoming one of three finalists for the role of Dorothy in her school's rock version of The Wizard of Oz until letting Gloria borrow the ring prior to a science test, only for Gloria to lose the ring on her way to return it. In the end, Stacy gets the part of Dorothy without the ring, while Gloria is revealed to have not done well on the test. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Kids Incorporated / int_8409a385 | comment |
The original pilot had Renee and Stacy as relatively minor characters while many of the songs were performed by miscellaneous kids at "The MaltShop". Additionally, Rahsaan Patterson was cast between the production of the pilot and the first season, resulting in additional scenes being added before the pilot was released on VHS. Also, the manager of the malt shop was named Michael and he was played by Michael Lewis, being replaced by Riley (Moosie Drier) in the first regular episode. Finally, producers Thomas W. Lynch and Gary P. Biller joined the show somewhere between the pilot and the beginning of regular series production. | |
