Kideo TV facts for kids

Kideo TV was a fun TV show that brought together different cartoons. It was created by DIC Enterprises and LBS Communications. The show first aired in April 1986.

It was a "syndicated anthology." This means it was a collection of different shows put together. It was then sold to many TV stations across the United States. This allowed many kids to watch it, no matter where they lived.

Meet the Kideo TV Hosts

Kideo TV had four cool hosts who introduced the cartoons! They were young people dressed in racing outfits. Each host had a "chassis" (like a car frame) on their shoulders.

There were two "good kids" among the hosts:

• 4U, played by Mark Hennessy
• Euphoria

These two helped teach important lessons. They would often try to guide the other two characters:

• Fast Lane, who was a bit reckless
• Couch Potato, who was easily influenced

The hosts appeared in short skits, less than five minutes long. These skits taught lessons about being good and making smart choices. Sometimes, famous TV personality Bob Keeshan would help explain these lessons. The hosts also appeared in short ads for the show.
