Fox Kids (originally known as Fox Children's Network and later as the Fox Kids Network; stylized as FOX KIDS) was an American children's programming block and branding for a slate of international children's television channels. Originally a joint venture between the Fox Broadcasting Company (Fox) and its affiliated stations, it was later owned by Fox Family Worldwide.[2] The Fox Kids brand originated on a programming block that aired on the Fox network from September 8, 1990, to September 7, 2002. The block aired on Saturday mornings throughout its existence (Sunday mornings in Canada), with an additional lineup on Monday through Friday afternoons airing until January 2002. Fox Kids is the only form of daytime television programming, outside of sports, aired by the Fox network to date.[3][4] Following then-Fox parent News Corporation's sale of Fox Kids Worldwide to The Walt Disney Company in July 2001, Fox put the remaining Saturday morning timeslot up for bidding, with 4Kids Entertainment winning and securing the rights to program that period. The Fox Kids block continued to air until September 7, 2002, and was replaced the following week (on September 14) by the 4Kids-programmed FoxBox.[5] Fox Kids was best known for airing the most-popular programs on the network, such as Bobby’s World and the Power Rangers series, with the latter dominating the block's schedule with increased ratings and creating a franchise, resulting in Fox Kids frequently using Power Rangers for its promotions due to the shows’ popularity.[6] Outside the United States, the first Fox Kids-branded television channel was launched in Australia on October 1, 1995, on cable and satellite television provider Foxtel. It then expanded to the UK and Ireland, launching on BSkyB in 1996, and after that it started broadcasts in Latin America on November of that same year. The channel expanded between 1997 and 2001 in Europe and Middle East,[7] and beginning in 2004, the international Fox Kids channels were gradually relaunched under the Jetix brand following Disney's acquisition of Fox Family Worldwide.[citation needed]

The Muppet Show is back in business but this time in animation! This cartoon follows the variety show structure and classic Muppet humor but allows The Muppets to lean more into cartoon chaos and comedy as well as exotic locations and big numbers they couldn't do in live-action! Come for the backstage episodes with our main Muppets, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Gonzo. Stay for the segments including Fozzie's Standup, Gonzo's Daredevil Show, Pigs in Space, Bunsen Labs, Swedish Chef, and more! And perhaps the best part... Instead of human celebrities, the guest stars are famous cartoon characters. That means almost every episode becomes a crossover event! You'll see how The Muppet Animated Show is bigger and crazier than it's live-action counterpart!
