“Kids Incorporated”
It’s not unusual for children to imitate their favorite pop stars or “make believe” that they are performing in front of a crowd. However, it is unusual for kids to actually start a professional band and perform choreographed song and dance routines at a local theater without any adult supervision whatsoever. But on “Kids Incorporated,” that’s what happened week after nauseating week. It was like “Glee,” except a little less gay-themed and and a lot more gay. Please note that it was still acceptable to use “gay” as a pejorative in 1984, so that joke was grandfathered in.
The show never explained who was funding these elaborate children’s performances, so we can only assume it was the work of a well-financed ring of Belgian pedophiles. But whoever was behind it, they have a lot to answer for. “Kids Incorporated” launched the careers of noted A-holes Mario Lopez, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and worst of all, Stacy Ferguson, which means my hatred of “Fergie” now spans four decades.
While I find this show to be the most repulsive on the list, I must admit I do enjoy watching Fergie get destroyed by a giant sperm at the end of the intro.
“Hannah Montana”
Much like sleeping with a tranny, watching this show leaves an unpleasant, confusing aftertaste in my mouth. Perhaps that’s why I find the “Hannah Montana” theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds,” so very apropos.
Miley Stewart seems like your average everyday teenager, but in reality, she’s living a double life as the world-famous pop star, “Hannah Montana.” Billy Ray Cyrus seems like a brain-dead hick, but in reality, he made a billion dollars by exploiting his children. Coincidence? I think not.
“The Mickey Mouse Club” (1990′s)
In the film It’s a Wonderful Life, a suicidal man named George Bailey is visited by his guardian angle and shown an alternative world in which he was never born. This helps George realize that his existence has made the world a better place in countless ways. The exact opposite is true of the 1990′s version of “The Mickey Mouse Club.”
If “The Mickey Mouse Club” had never existed, the careers of Christina Aguilera, JC Chasez, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake would never have gotten off the ground. The boy-band ‘N Sync would never have formed. The songs “Oops!… I Did It Again” and “Genie in a Bottle” would never have been recorded. There would have been no “Nipplegate” at Superbowl Super Bowl XXXVIII, and the resulting FCC backlash would never have occurred. The name “Kevin Federline” would mean nothing to you. “The Voice” would not be one of the most popular shows in America. And while I can’t prove it, I’m pretty sure the September 11th Attacks would have been thwarted.

Hold on who the hell is “Jason?” No intro?
That being said, the mom on The Suite Life was kind of hot and I’m pretty sure Brenda Song is blind.
Ooooooooohh, Danger Guerrero is gonna be maaaadddddd.
*Begins to load dueling musket* Welp, Ms. Kapowski’s honor must now be defended, so I will meet you on the field of battle of your choosing.
Instead of bemoaning the careers launched on Kids Incorporated, maybe celebrate the careers that weren’t lost. How’s it going Rashaan Patterson?
I’d also like to welcome JC Chasez to this thread. He just found this blog while Googling “careers.”
*weren’t lost” I’m sure I meant “weren’t”
My guardian angle is Kurt
Hmmm, directed by a guy named Bonerz? Any relation to the Growing Pains character? Secret Kirk Cameron conspiracy?
PS: Miss Bliss can parent my trap any day.
It’s really hard to explain the rage that pictures of Trace Cyrus cause me to experience.
I’m with Upstate, I need to know who Jason is so I can rip him to shreds like kids do at school with the sub teachers.
Mind you, none of these were cartoons so he’s already better than Josh.
No hating on Justin Timberlake. Dude’s become a legit good actor.
Nothing with Selena Gomez in it should ever be criticized…..
…..especially when she makes her first porno….
@UU – the only thing remotely enjoyable about that show or “Wizards…” were the milf-y moms. Or at least, the actresses who played the milf-y moms.
Oh and I’ve come to irritate my kids even more by obnoxiously laughing along with the laugh track to those shows. Best. Workout. Ever. After 5 minutes you’ll have done the equivalent of like 2,000 crunches.
No I don’t watch Wizards of Waverly Place. I’M AN ADULT!!!!!
I’m with UU and Smegga- who the hell is this guy?
I blame the Disney Channel for the Efronization of this generation of American actors, with their fruity hair and queer vests.

Take it back.
Dumbos Circus is 10 times better than Zoobeli Zoo
Nickalodeon, too. Nick, Jr. has no commercials and a few OK shows for preschoolers…then all of a sudden they outgrow Nick Jr., watch regular Nickalodeon with its shit programming for a few years, then after that it’s a transition into MTV. Ugh, this is the Devil’s due that we pay for excellent programs like Breaking Bad and Community.
But with no Mickey Mouse Club, we would never have Ryan “HuggingMachine” Gosling.
Was that a young Steve Urkel in Ms. Bliss’ class?
@Smegga I don’t even know what that means.
@Josh – I’m just playing. I’m just one of those guys who doesn’t like cartoons or animated shows, and you do so you use them a lot in your articles.
You are a very good writer, I just don’t really get into what you are saying because I am old and like to watch people instead.
That help?
Wow, “queerbag” and “tranny” in the same piece! Delightful.
You forgot one of the famous Kids Inc alums – Marta Marrero later took the stage name Martika and released one of my favorite songs “Toy Soldiers”.
Jason doesn’t know anything about the early 80′s. In 1984 gays were still in denial about AIDS, I never heard of crack until 1986 and no one had worried about a nuclear bomb attack since the 1950′s. In fact, I would say the 70′s to early 80′s was the best era ever.
Seriously? Saved By The Bell was awesome.
I’m sorry the show wasn’t obscure enough for you, you hip hip guy you.
Jason rocks! Great article! You guys are a bunch of meanies. I am not a robot. I am a unicorn.
The smug little prick in Good Morning Miss Bliss is such a moron that he doesn’t even realize that the only girl in the sixth grade with tits is basically throwing it at him. What a douche.
so so so Cute
Gay and queerbag? what would the LGBT and the phillies think of this post Danger?
They would probably just roll their eyes and move on, like I suggest you do.
I cringed going through this list. I hate to admit I used to watch the older shows as a kid. Thank God I grew out of that crap fast.
So much fail in this article it’s frightening. Any listing of nauseating Disney shows has to include “Shake it Up”, “Sunny with a Chance”, “Fish Hooks”, “Cory in the House” (a spinoff of “Raven”), and “Pair of Kings”. Also, it’s not “The Wizards…” it’s simply “Wizards…” First rule of journalism: check your facts.
