Both Fox Kids and Jetix have had a history of special holiday programing events, typically comprising of marathons or back-to-back episodes of various shows, such as Jackie Chan, Power Rangers or other similar popular franchises. On some occasions, certain special events have been known to feature an additional on-screen graphic during the day in question, as well as other specially created promotional channel idents. These special events are usually placed around public holidays or school breaks.
Kids offers a bleak, unblinking view of a group of vacuous, thoughtless New York City teens in their ceaseless quest for sex, drugs, and trouble. The film primarily follows Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick), who, having just realized the conquest of his latest virgin, brags that by day's end he will claim one more. While he and his friends brag to each other about their sexual exploits, Jenny (Chloƫ Sevigny) describes her own less-than-romantic encounter with Telly. Soon after the conversation, she learns that Telly, the only boy with whom she has slept, has infected her with the AIDS virus. Devastated, she sets out to find him and share the news. Meanwhile, Telly has set his sights on Darcy (Yakira Peguero), a lovely young girl whom he invites for a skinny dip at the local pool.
When Fox Kids initially launched in October 19, 1996, it aired between the hours of 6am and 7pm and timeshared with National Geographic Channel. Eventually, broadcasting hours were extended to 10pm, and, on the 3rd November 2003, the channel began to broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The 24 hour broadcasting continued until March 2006. Shortly after Fox Kids rebranded as Jetix, the station reduced its broadcasting hours, and began broadcasting Tele-shopping Presentations from 11pm - 2am.
Kids and the Law Kids and the Law was first published in 1996 after a State Bar survey revealed that many kids were unclear about certain laws and the consequences for breaking them. It was revised into its current form in 2001. Print versions are now available in Spanish and Chinese.
