Here are two shows that are very similar, both branching out future stars with similar concept, Kids Incorporated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Incorporated) and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mickey_Mouse_Club#1989–1994_revival,_The_All-New_Mickey_Mouse_Club), so which one was better?

TV TRASH 300: Kids Incorporated (https://vimeo.com/596698169)

Kids Incorporated was a Disney Channel TV show that spanned from 1984 to 1994. It was the start of so many artists' careers and the start of so many kids' passions. Kids Incorporated was Glee, before Glee was cool. Kids Incorporated was the 80's and 90's Glee.

After growing up with the show through pre-recorded VHS tapes, I set out on a mission to find information about the show online to compile it all in one video. This is that video.

Video breakdown:

00:00 - 02:19 Topic Intro
02:19 - 06:03 Show Format
09:27 - 11:46 Production
11:46 - 13:25 Mickey Mouse Club Rivalry
13:25 - 19:14 The Main Cast Evolution
19:14 - 20:02 Life Lessons on Kids Inc.
20:02 - 20:53 Kids Inc. on Disney+
21:00 - 23:00 Conclusion & Thank You

When it comes to kids variety shows especially shows with music I can say out of the two shows I would have to say that Kids Incorporated was the most popular. Why you may ask yourself? Because Kids incorporated featured a simple storyline of kids starting a band hoping to make it big. And with a cast with a young Fergie Martika and Jennifer Love Hewitt "known as Love Hewitt in the credits" Kids Incorporated had the success that made the show popular for the 80's and 90's since it debuted in 1989. The All-New Mickey Mouse Club was a show that also turned it's stars into celebrities while also being a variety and music based show. Back in the 1990's The All-New Mickey Mouse Club was the show where you could see stars like Britney Spears Justin Timberlake Christina Aguilera and JC Chasez make their big breaks and way back in 1990 a teen oriented pop group named The Party made their debut thanks to The All-New Mickey Mouse Club and was a success but like all teen shows The All-New Mickey Mouse Club rode off into the sunset leaving a legacy for all 90's teen shows

"TV Trash" (https://rowdyc.com/TV_Trash_300.html) is an internet review web series hosted by Chris Lee Moore, better known as Rowdy C. In this series, he critiques what he considers bad television, including failed pilots, obscure TV movies, and poorly received.

Regarding "Kids Incorporated," (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125322/http://www.jumptheshark.com/k/kidsincorporated.htm) Rowdy C reviewed (https://18cinemalane.com/2021/03/21/sally-watcheskids-incorporated/) the 1980s-90s (https://radiodiscussions.com/threads/kids-incorporated-station-listings-1984-86.683770/) musical variety show (https://web.archive.org/web/20140405150352/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3112853-kids-incorporated/?view=getnewpost) in an episode of TV Trash. He generally critiqued the show (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/KidsIncorporated)'s "cheesy" production values, the high-energy (often seen as "rowdy") performances of the child actors, and the repetitive formula of musical numbers interspersed with thin plotlines.
