The Kids from Room 402

The Kids from Room 402 is an animated series produced by CinéGroupe and Saban Entertainment that premiered on August 29, 2000 on the Fox Family Channel in the United States, and on August 29, 2000 on Teletoon in Canada. It consists of 52 half-hour episodes, the last of which aired in 2000, with reruns airing until 2005.[citation needed] The series was also seen in Latin America and Europe on Fox Kids, with the latter region still airing the series after the Fox Kids channels were purchased by Disney and changed their name to Jetix; remaining on their schedule until the Jetix channels were once again rebranded as Disney XD.

The series is focused primarily on a group of elementary school students. Miss Graves, their teacher, is usually shown as an interlocutor in the issues and injustices that are inflicted upon the students, whether the dilemmas be internal or external. Each episode usually ends with a substantiated moral or lesson resulting from such aforementioned situations.

The series is based on the 40-page children's book Gracie Graves and the Kids from Room 402 by Betty Paraskevas and Michael Paraskevas, published in 1995. This was retitled in 2000 as simply "The Kids from Room 402" to match the series.

The animated series was story edited and developed for television by Lesa Kite and Cindy Begel, who wrote all 52 episodes.

On April 8, 2003, CinéGroupe Star released a set of three VHS tapes called "Double Trouble"/"Sacré Délire", which featured an episode each from this show and What's with Andy?, alongside a music video from the Pig City tie-in album "Reggie and the Rashers". Volume 1 featured the episode "Over the River and Through the Swamp", Volume 2 featured the episode "All Polly All The Day", and Volume 3 featured the episode "The Anti-Mucous Forming, Artery Clogging, Energy Zapping Diet". The releases were sold in separate English and French versions, respectively.
