What's Kids Incorporated?
Kids Incorporated (also known as Kids Inc.) was an American children's television program that was produced from 1984 to 1993.
It was largely a youth oriented sitcom with musical performances as an integral part of the plot and show.
The series revolved around a group of children and teenagers who performed in their own rock group, Kids Incorporated. The band members struggled to deal with issues ranging from divorce to violence to schoolyard crushes while performing regularly at a local restaurant/theatre, The P*lace (called The Malt Shop in the pilot). It was originally named The Palace, but the "a" in the neon sign burned out. It was never explained how the KI group funded or profited from their performances, but the show did not aim for strict realism. The action took place on abstract, "stagey" sets and the plots involved many fantasy elements (such as the band meeting a singing robot).
The city in which the P*lace was located was never disclosed. However, according to frequent director Paul Hoen, the show was supposed to be set in Fort Greene, a section of Brooklyn, New York City. The school depicted on the Kids Incorporated set had signage reading P.S., and later, Public School 127. The P.S. designation is associated only with NYC schools

Good times
Glad to see that many more people remember that show and like it Definetly good memories here
This one was one of my favorite music covers:
Kids Incorporated cover of All I need is a Miracle by Mike and the Mechanics
I've never heard of these Kids Incorporated until now, but I must admit I enjoyed watching the covers you posted here.
I loved that show as a kid!
and since everybody is posting their favorite Kids Incorporated song from YouTube, I figured I'd post my favorite Kid Incorporated video:
Never Ending Story and the Goonies!
Good memories
In many cases I think that the Kids Incorporated covers were better than the original songs themselves
Anybody know where I can buy the Kids Incorporated seasons on DVD? I really liked the episodes.
I remember that show!
They did some real good covers, they even had covers of Beatles songs.
Unfortunately the Kids Inc episodes were not released nor on DVDs or on Video VHS Cassettes. Hope they do get released some day, I'm sure many people would buy them.
