Contrasting rumors claim that there will be between four to seven seasons of the Digimon television series; nothing has been officially confirmed. As of 2003, there are four seasons: the former two make one storyline, and the latter two, Tamers and Frontier respectively, have similar but unrelated plots. The third season makes reference to the televison and commercial enterprises of the first two. In addition, there are several movies and video games based on the three storylines.
Digimon is produced by Saban[?] and Bandai[?]. Originally, the series showed on Fox Network's Fox Kids[?] and Fox Family[?], but after Disney's acquisition of Fox Family (renamed ABC Family[?]) during the third season, the first three seasons stayed on ABC Family and the fourth premiered on UPN.

Long on pointless battle sequences, short on plot or characterization in its first few episodes but has begun to develop (as many television series do) as time went on. It covered such difficulties kids face when growing up such as making friends, being courageous and standing up to bad people, lending a supportive hand to people even though they may be different, saying goodbye to the ones you love, and much more. This has best been displayed by the collection of 'crests' that the children collect to help make their friends the Digimon 'digivolve' into stronger beings to help them stop the evil forces. The crests embody: Love, Hope, Friendship, Sincerity, Courage, Knowledge, Reliability. The crests won't work unless the bearers of the crests exhibit the quality that their crest represents and this has lead to the children expressing the trait they didn't know they had, sometimes with interesting emotional and dramatic results.
The children realized that the world that they were in was not a game and the creatures there had feelings and could feel pain. Digimon expressed every quality that humans do but they didn't look human. They decided without much thought that they had to defend the strange creatures in the Digital World because they didn't want the creatures there to suffer, and they were the only ones that could help. The Digi-destined never tried to destroy any Digimon unless the Digimon were evil and gave them no other choice.
In the next season Tai's little sister Kari joined the crew. Her involvement expanded the scope of the show as a new dark world was introduced and a description on how the digital world got besieged by the 'Dark Masters' was added. There was even a suggestion of a preceding story before the first Digi-destined in the series landed in the world but that was not explored very well. In the next season there was more information provided on the dark dimension but there was still a visible gap in detail, suggesting that what we have witnessed in the series is just a small story out of a much larger.
The first was when Tai and Kari were mere toddlers and they (and what would become the rest of the Digi-destined were watching nearby) saw and participated in their first digimon battle after raising a quickly growing digimon.
The second story showed many of the Digi-destined but only four ended up saving the day when an artificially-made Digimon constructed by a nice young, but careless boy genius named Willis, got infected with a computer virus and raised havoc all over the globe through the Internet. The kids must stop the evil digimon quickly before the nuclear warheads it launched destroy Japan (where the kids are) and Colorado (where Willis lives). Two of them are so worried about their digimon that are fighting the monster that they actually phase into the Internet and mysteriously give them the power to destroy the enemy in time.
The last story involved the next generation of Digimon kids after they travel from Japan to the U.S.A. and meet up with a grown up Willis (who is American) and they must help him stop the mess that he created as the virus mutated and infected one of his digimon (he was given two for some reason) who is wreaking havoc in the real world. The movie was very humourous, fast-paced, had action-packed battle scenes, a great soundtrack and demonstrated that everything you do in life can have repercussions for many years to come.
The origins of Henry finding his digimon have not been revealed and Rika (the 'Digi-Queen' as the local kids know her because of how well she played the card game) was approached by her digimon (and many others) and asked her to make her stronger.
Along the way the kids learn to be responsible of the digimon as a man tries to stop the Digimon from coming to the real world at any cost.This manifestation of the Digimon series depends more on character development and an increasingly growing plot...Will Rika learn its ok to love and trust others...why is the man trying to stop the digimon...what are the details of the project that Henry's father was involved in that created the digimon...where are the blue cards coming from...and who is the man in the yellow jacket. Right now the new Digi-destined are fighting a series of evil Digimon calling themselves the Devas who think its disgusting for a digimon to be paired up with a human. After dealing with the Devas, the new digidestined had to fight a malevolent computer program called D-reaper, which threatens both the real and digital worlds.
