Happy 12th Anniversary Kids From Fame Media
Wow when I started this site in 2009 I thought it might keep me busy for 12 months. Surely there wasn't that much to post on a show that had ended in 1987. Well here we are 12 years later and still going strong.
Thanks to everyone for all their support.
Happy Anniversary.
Have a great day.
