What do you remember about the final airing of Fox Kids?
Today marks 20 years since Fox Kids' last broadcast in the US

Mostly digimon before it got absorbed into Jetix. Earlier than that I used to fuck with monster rancher and medabots.
Aaron Rodriguez
Didn't see it. By that time, Fox Kids had nothing I wanted to watch on it anymore.
Evan Parker
It still aired for a while longer as a channel in Europe. They couldn't really get back on their feet after Kids WB got Pokemon. And Yu-Gi-Oh was the final nail in the coffin.
Jaxson Bell
Fox Kids started falling apart when it lost all the Spielberg toons and Batman:TAS to Kids WB. Power Rangers kept them going for a while, but even that would have gotten the axe had PR In Space not bailed it out.
Ethan Jones
Honestly, my attention was elsewhere. Might check in on Digimon from time to time.
Jose Watson
I was too young back then to understand why it was gone since it seemed popular, so why exactly did it go under?
Adam Smith
it was some weird ghostbuster/ spooky kids show kind of like goosebumps
it was bad but thats all i recall
Parker Brown
Here's the following Saturday and the premiere of the FoxBox if anyone's interested.
Asher Clark
looks like at this point I was watching One Saturday Morning
Cameron Price
I don't remember that much about what the actual programming was because I mixed it up with other channels in my brain, but I remember always liking the "videogame walthrough" bumpers.
Juan Baker
It's weird that it went away after only 12 years, because from Early 1993 to Late 1997, it was #1 in the ratings on Saturdays
Jonathan Cruz
The main thing I remember from Fox Kids is that they had that Peter Pan show I liked to watch.

Outside of Saban shows, goosebumps, spider-man, and Digimon. Sadly a lot of fox kids' original shows are overlooked. Life with Louie is shockingly a well-written show that hits home. It's probably the last time you can play off someone's dad's PTSD as a running joke. Mr enter and saber sparks probably hate life with Louie for being too mean spirited. The cartoon didn’t shy away from the harness of life.. There times when Louie dad looks like he moments away from punching him.
Robert Martinez
Pretty sure Louie Anderson talk about his father beating him when having war flashbacks but doesn’t hate him for it. The cartoon doesn’t villainozed Louie father. Even for the 90s was PTSD regularly joked about?

A lot of local fox affiliates were dropping Saturday mornings, Saban, which effectively handled most of FK’s programming , sold their catalog to Disney. 4kids, ripe with Pokémon/YugiOh money, offered to take over Saturday morning for Fox, which would be less to worry about for them.
Levi Nguyen
I think the weird thing was there was no big send off or alert it was the last FK broadcast, just the same episodes, and nothing
Lincoln Sanchez
Unrelated, but at least The WB and UPN were both kind enough have their respective, triumphant sendoffs before merging to The CW during the Fall of 2006.
Robert Taylor
I remember they got away with this scene on their last years.
Carson Hernandez
Aren’t a lot of Fox Kids/Fox Family non-action cartoons mean-spirited comedy?
