Kids' Writes

Nội dung

Kids' Writes is an early program on the children's network Nickelodeon, running from 1982 to 1987. The main cast included Jim Mairs, Wynn White, Carlo Grossman, John Rousseau and Steve Rifkin. The cast wore similarly styled jumpsuits, each a different color.

The premise of the show was that children would compose short stories and mail them to the actors. The best stories were then acted out on camera on a unique set. Before each story or song, its title was shown, along with the author's name and hometown.

Stories portrayed on Kids' Writes would often involve typical child fantasies such as space flight, monsters, and children becoming heroes to "save the day". Some submissions became songs where Jim Mairs and Steve Riffkin wrote the music, mostly performed by Jim on guitar or piano.
