Codename: Kids Next Door, simply known as Kids Next Door or by its acronym KND, is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton and produced by Curious Pictures. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 6, 2002 and ended on January 21, 2008, after six years.
The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network (The Big Pick). It briefly aired on Miguzi at 4:00 p.m. Reruns aired on Boomerang between 2016-2017, and again from 2018-2019. Afterwards, the show moved to the Boomerang SVOD service (where most episodes were split to single 11-minute segments) and hasn't been seen on linear TV since. In December 2021, one time return this show, because Christmas specials.
Broadcast as a series with 22 minute episodes that consist of two eleven minute segments (some of them being double length episodes with no segments at all), the central characters of the series are five ten-year-olds who operate from their treehouse against the tyranny of adults and teenagers. The central characters make up what is known as Sector V of a worldwide organization called the Kids Next Door.
Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves "The Kids Next Door" among the recurring characters, and would often get Kenny into trouble. The plot-line was then changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, the kids battling adulthood. In 2001, the show's pilot episode, "No P in the OOL", won a Cartoon Network viewer's poll, and as a result, Codename: Kids Next Door was greenlit to become a series.
In 2005, The series won The Best Television Series for Children Award at The Ottawa International Animation Festival for "Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E.", which was written by Tom Warburton and storyboarded by Guy Moore. The following year, "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E." won the Festival's Collideascope Award for Television Animation for Children. Then, after that, the episode "Operation: K.E.N.N.Y." was nominated for the Colideascope Award for Television Animation for Children, becoming the second episode to be nominated.
On March 19, 2015, a video was posted on UA-cam of what appears to be an animatic of a new series featuring Numbuh 1,
, Chad (Numbuh 274), and the Galactic KND, entitled Galactic: Kids Next Door. It was later revealed to be an attempt to try to get the series approved with help from fans.
On April 1, 2015, a petition was started on Change.org to make G:KND a real series. Many fans signed the petition, including creator Tom Warburton and Numbuh 4's voice actor Dee Bradley Baker. The next day, a fan-made Facebook page was created to advertise that a G:KND series was still possible.
On June 1, 2015, Warburton revealed that the idea of a G:KND started since the end of the original series along a Cartoon Network executive, but any came in fruition, so he wrote a script.
Eighteen days later, Warburton revealed that Cartoon Network had rejected the G:KND and have plans for continuing the Codename: Kids Next Door franchise, but he is confident to get the sequel approved in the future.
In April 2016, Warburton stated that Cartoon Network didn't greenlight the G:KND, but he also said that the petition could serve to convince them in the future. In September 2016, the original video released by Warburton was re-animated by Rat Animation, retaining the original audio, but is fully animated in contrast to the greyscale animatic in the original video. Also, Rat Animation has shown its support saying Warburton that if the first episode of the sequel is written, they would animate it. The petition ended with over 95,000 supporters.
