Even though I didn't start watching Fox Kids until the summer of 1995 when I was at the age of 4. As I remember watching the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers alongside with my young brother in the apartment at that time. It was the very first Saturday morning cartoon block that I watched when I was a toddler right next to Kids' WB! (which that program block came out a couple of months until September 9, 1995 when the Animaniacs (which originally aired on Fox Kids in the early 1990s until it moved to Kids' WB), and its my second favorite childhood Saturday morning cartoon block).

Shows that I remember watching Fox Kids during my childhood years back in the 1990s throughout the early 2000s were Bobby's World, Life with Louie, Power Rangers series (Mighty Morphin through Wild Force), Godzilla: The Animated Series, X-Men: The Animated Series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Monster Rancher, Digimon: Digital Monsters (Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, and Digimon Tamers), Mummies Alive, and Woody wood Pecker.

They showcased giveaway awards, special bumpers, and more. But all good things have came to an end as Fox Kids children's program block was in its decline around 2001, while other children's program blocks and channels continues to skyrocket such as Cartoon Network, Kids' WB!, Toonami, Nickelodeon, and PBS Kids during that time period. Also Saban Entertainment's library of their shows (including Digimon and Power Rangers) were sold by Walt Disney Company way back in 2001.

Then came to September 7, 2002, Fox Kids children's program block got shutdown for good and it was rebranded as Fox Box on the following week on September 14th during that year. While Power Rangers franchise series moved to ABC Kids children's program block, and Digimon moved to Disney's One Too program block on UPN until they found a brand new children's program block called, Jetix in early 2004.

While the Fox Kids children's program block is still remembered fondly as most millennials (including myself and my young brother) alongside with other Saturday morning cartoon blocks like Kids' WB, and Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC. What is your favorite childhood moments of watching this classic program block when you were a kid? I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions about this.
