Fox Kids (originally known as Fox Children's Network and later as the Fox Kids Network; stylized as FOX KIDS) is a former children's programming block and branding for a slate of international children's television channels.
Fox Kids was best known for airing the most-popular programs on the network, such as Bobby’s World and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series, with the latter dominating the block’s schedule with increased ratings and creating a franchise.
Other notable Fox Kids shows included Beetlejuice, Muppet Babies, X-Men the animated series, Batman the Animated Series, Godzilla and tons more.
But the creation of Fox Kids can be traced all the way back to bad blood between executives over... Ducktales?

Around 92 as a kid you never understood why Saturday morning cartoons disappeared and everything became Jack Hanna type animal shows and kids news. And NBC became the teen channel with NBA Inside Stuff, Saved by the bell/new class, Hang Time, City guy's and California Dreams.

@andrejg4136 2 года назад
Yeah, NBC completely cutting bait was the canary in the coal mine. Then Fox became their replacement. As CBS shifted more to pre-school, WB took their spot. So the 3 way dance was almost always a 3 way dance. By the mid 00s though, cable and nascent streaming options rendered the broadcast cartoon block absolutely moot from an ad perspective, which was the whole point to begin with.

It was an intersection between the FCC cracking down on commercial toons, the rise of console video games and the growing economic might of professional sports. NBC cut bait first because it had a hefty rooster of sports throughout the year. Easier to transition NBAJam and extend the pregame programming. For the older 3 networks, Sat Am was just a place to sell cereal until college and pro sports started.

The 3 of us picked out the 3 boy Ranger's action figures (Jason, Zach, and Billy) and we all looked forward to the first show.... Little did we know.

While it never quite hit the same highs of Pokemon in terms of popularity, it's a bit unfair to say Digimon couldn't match it at all, for awhile it was Fox Kid's saving grace and the reason it lasted just a little longer as it did. And even now Digimon has its own sizable fanbase in western terriorties with their own nostalgia, and the franchise never truly went away.

@@CuffAnimationStudios Lots of people did as far as the anime goes. But the thing is pokemon was more than the anime, it was a very popular card game and an even more popular video game. The show was also easier to digust as it wasn't about saving the world every episode and just about pocket monsters with multiple attacks and strategy. Also I don't think the dude meant any disrespect when he said that. I mean it wasn't more popular than pokemon for a large amount and it shows today. It was however popular in its own right and more popular than a great number of shows.

The weird thing about Duck Tales is that Disney was making the show at a loss because they ignored some of the more lucrative merch options. So by keeping Duck Tales on the schedule, Fox would have been doing themselves a financial favor. Instead, Warner and Fox decided that they needed to make cartoons at a loss as well, and we got some of the best children's programming of the 20th century (no pun intended) as a result.

And while there were some actually pretty decent early TV/EI series like Histeria! and some of the ABC line up, they got lazier and cheaper, resulting in bad nature and nutritional cooking series they KNOW no one watches, but they can put little money or care into for FCC lipservice.

I watched *Gummi Bears* regularly when it was on NBC and only quit watching it because I could never find it. First it moved to ABC, then its last season was part of the first season of the Disney afternoon, so I had to wait for the Disney Channel reruns to see the last two seasons, and even then they were out of order! And then after a terrible looking DVD collection of the first three seasons came out in region one, I had to buy the remainder of the series from Australia! This was after it only got video releases in the UK and Europe but not North America when it was on the air. It’s a shame Disney seems to take for granted that show is basically the reason all of the other Disney TV cartoons were even possible. They made two other cartoons before *DuckTales* and both of them flopped. If *Gummi Bears* had failed, that would’ve been it.

The earlier line up of Fox Kids, before Saban took it over and made it all Tokusatsu series and questionable anime was amazing. CBS and ABC were strong contenders and still had some strong series, but Fox blew everything out of the water at that point. I'd say the creation of that network was one of the most important factors in the cartoon renaissance in the 90's, right up there with the creation of Nicktoons. I'll always remember the smaller series that never stood a chance during the middle portion of Fox Kids' lifetime. Weird, quirky stuff like Ned's Newt, Spydogs and the unfortunately short lived Sam and Max.

It occurs to me that - now that Disney+ owns so much Saturday morning content, they should let you program your own ‘Saturday morning’. You tick off a list of shows, and then just watch it as an ongoing ‘stream’ as the app switches between episodes of all selected shows (in chronological order roughly to allow storylines to makes sense). It would be so good. Fantastic for chilling after a late shift… a fun way to make Saturday mornings magic again, as a grownup or to share with your kids. C’mon Disney! Make it happen!

Personally, I think that Digimon Adventure 1 and 2 and Digimon Tamers are much better shows than any of the Pokémon series. I remember watching both dubs when they aired and getting quickly annoyed Pokémon's repetitiveness. Digimon by contrast had actual character arcs and was emotionally resonant to me, an adult watching an anime based on a Tomagotchi knock off. As far as the competition between Fox Kids and the Disney Afternoon, I preferred to switch between them to watch what I liked. I would watch Batman: the Animated Series or Darkwing Duck, whichever one was on. I was too old by then to be seduced into following one programming block over another.

There are two major things I see wrong with this Timeline in this video: -The first thing is that Both Duck Tales and Gummy Bears was not apart of the original Disney afternoon. While both ended there run in 1990, Disney bet the house on Duck Tales with higher animation standards at that time and selling through Syndication nationwide, not the Six Fox affiliates on their own(Fox just wanted a piece of the action). As far as Gummy Bears, there last season was dual broadcasted between ABC Saturday Mornings and being Syndicated by Independent Stations and while the writing on that show was very good for a cartoon, you can make the argument that another Disney cartoon, The Wuzzles on CBS had better animation when it debuted on the same day in 1985! -The Second thing is that with all of these networks with afternoon programming(Even USA Network jumped back in the game at that point, and their Children's Block was a walking Corpse), Dragonball Z came out of nowhere on Cartoon Network from Syndication and laid waist to everyone to the point it was rivaling some primetime shows for ratings!

It's always nice to watch videos like these, and remember where my favorite shows were airing. Ducktales premiered in prime time for us in south Florida - half an hour each night at 8pm and my parents let me watch the whole week. I got to stay up late (second grader when it debuted). I lived on cartoons, and the movie property ones - Killer Tomatoes, Bill & Ted, Beetlejuice, and Addams Family (ABC???) were some of my favorites. Power Rangers literally saved my relationship with my little brother when we were kids - we bonded over liking the show. He loved the monster battles, I wanted the high school soap drama, but also loved the character designs, and I was the exact age to fall in love with the Green Ranger (like literally everyone else). That television block is what cemented my love of Power Rangers, which still continues to this day. And with X-Men, got me into comics. Disney was my first animation love, followed by Warner Bros. via Fox Kids, and the variety of shows on Fox Kids was what really made it work, IMO. The less said about the 4Kids takeover, the better.

FOX Kids daily lineup didn't trickle out. It vanished. FOX Kids had a daily lineup for the Fall 2001 season knowing they would get rid of it early in 2002. FOX also had a merger with UPN. The New York and LA markets aired the FOX Kids block on UPN while the FOX owned and operated stations aired their own programming for syndication. Plus, none of the FOX affiliates were making any money carrying FOX Kids. The Cleveland and Tampa affiliates never carried the weekday block and FOX had to get other stations in those markets to carry it.

Pilot it's the one with the red dragon with all the biohazard tattoos. Basically in episode he flips his lid. The biohazard sign starts leaking dark magic and he destabilizes both the human world and the digital one. This was result of impmon's machinations. This twit sells his soul to someone else for power. Leomon and his teamate Jeri try to redeem the imp. For their troubles Leomon gets deleted in a brutal attack. He's impaled in the chest. The nature in which this done is out of character for this series. This attack is pretty close to being cold blooded murder. At this point everyone is horrified. So the red dragon is filled with his partner/ creator's malice and bloodlust. Resulting in the world destorying monster previously mentioned. Then of course there's the Jeri issue. She becomes so depressed that she's incapable of functioning. She lets the D reaper virus then take possession of her . Because she wants everyone to hurt as badly as she does.

All this Ducktales and no Woo-hoo! Well, woo-hoo! I grew up in the LA market so I saw KCAL and KTTV morph from sleepy affiliates playing Mama's Family and Three's Company into kids programming power players with In Living Color and Married with Children on the side. I know it's hard to believe now, but Fox was once the maverick looking to shake up the industry. It wasn't just Ducktales. Fox kids realized kids of the 90s weren't like kids in the 80s and 70s. They took risks were the networks wouldn't dare tread and image conscious Disney could never tread. Peter Pan and the Pirates wasn't a Disney Clone, it tried to outdo Disney (something Disney would try 20 years later with its Tinkerbell line) it's most baller move was working with Amblin and Spielberg on a raft of shows including Tiny Toons, Pinky & the Brain and Animaniacs. Fox kids wasn't going to surrender to the Disney Afternoon. When Fox was young and had something to prove it took chances. That is what brought us Power Rangers and Freakazoid, Digimon and Eek the Cat. Just as it brought Parker Lewis, Culture Clash and In Living Color to the airwaves.

I have 2 fox kids memories. The entire reason I got into martial arts as a kid was because of Power Rangers. Now I am fairly high ranking in Judo, Aikido, and working my way up in Kendo. That corny show led to a life long passion This might sound weird, but my second fox kids memory is Digimon. The franchise is good and it is unfortunate that it was targeted at the same demo as Pokemon in the US. In Japan it was never meant to compete with Pokemon and the franchise is generally targeted at an older audience with a lot more mature themes and violence, to this day it has one of the most realistic depictions of divorced parents and a separated family I have ever seen. It is still a popular franchise in Japan because of this and I wonder if it got the same considerations in the west would it be more popular today?

I miss those days of Saturday Morning and Weekday Afternoons with Power Rangers and Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nug, or Magic School Bus and X-Men.

its so weird, where I'm at (Dayton, OH) (WRGT) The Disney afternoon was still on fox up until mid 90s, I remember them having Darkwing Duck, Aladdin, Bonkers, etc. THEN it would shift into the shows like Batman: TAS, Power Rangers etc. and WRGT had the first season of Pokemon airing here, when KidsWB came around I remember them starting with what I assume was the second season and the storyline with Misty getting the Togepi egg. so all this info is really confusing coming from my perspective. I don't doubt it I'm just letting you know how it was here

Good stuff. Digimon's dub was kind of a mess but it felt somehow more mature then pokemon at the time.

True. Digimon is a way more better than Pokemon

more mature, but at least Pokemon didnt jump the shark. tbh idk what's worse, going off the wall or making others go off the wall via repetition.

Remember folks: pokemon faint, digimon die...until they reincarnate.

Yeah the dub ain't great at least not in retrospect and especially compared to the subbed version.

Great video! The background wasn’t an issue at all. I only started paying attention to it because of the warning. Keep up the great work!

Did a search and didn't see anyone bring up The Tick, one of the weirdest and best comedy superhero cartoons ever. I still quote the show to this day.

Disney toons couldn't be beat: Duck Tales, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, Gummy Bears & Gargoyles. I had to hound my mom to get the Disney Channel back in the day.
