Children and Kids

It's refreshing to find a web series aimed at children that adults can happily enjoy, but Spook House Dave has got the mix just right. Its creepy, but not too creepy, cast of puppet characters should appeal to children, while adults will love the quick good natured humor. It's something like a modern reinvention of The Muppets, with a little more ghoulishness.

Simon's Cat is a cheerful and inoffensive animated series designed to appeal to children and adults alike. Kids can chuckle along to the simple humor, while adult cat owners will recognize many of their own pet's behaviors in the demanding cat. As Simon draw every episode by hand we are left waiting months for the next installment, but fans believe they're worth the wait.

For generations Sesame Street and its muppets have entertained and educated children around the world. Now the classic TV series has gone modern with its move to the internet. It's a smart move which offers children a safe place to play online, and parents real peace of mind. This is a much better option than sending your kids to YouTube.

Billionaire Warren Buffett is putting his dollars to good use in the new educational children's webseries Secret Millionaire's Club. With its catchy theme song and fun animated characters, the show is a palatable way to train kids to be financially savvy. Twenty-six episodes have already been commissioned, but hopefully more will follow.

With the web dominated by adult comedies and infotainment programs, it's refreshing to find a series like Ghost Town which is made with kids in mind. The series never patronizes its young audience, although adult audiences may hope for a few more thrills and chills. Considering its audience, I think this series pushes the envelope just far enough.

All your favorite cartoon characters have been dragged out of the vault and whacked on ReFrederator, Channel Frederator's vintage cartoon channel. From Betty Boop to Casper the Friendly Ghost, this channel is a great way to revisit your childhood. If only there were more cartoons to see. The 20s, 30s, and 40s produced such great cartoons, and only a fraction of them have made their way here.

Smart Girls at the Party is the latest series to join our educational children's category, but there's plenty here to entertain adults as well. In each episode the hosts Amy Poehler, Amy Miles, and Meredith Walker interview preteen girls with big ideas. The atmosphere is fun and positive, promoting self confidence and ambitions of young girls.

However the sponsorship by Barbie is a little curious. Surely the big breasted blonde doll represents everything this program is rebelling against!

Do you remember that story of the guy who started with a paper clip, and with some careful trading ended up owning a house? It might seem crazy, but our latest business and economy program, Trading Up, shows it's not as far-fetched as you might think.

The teams of children start with a penny, and show you just how far a humble coin can really go!

Make it Awesome is the latest web series to join our educational children's category. In each episode the young hosts and their adult friend Blake make a fun craft project, then use a little creativity to "make it awesome."

This program manages to strike the right balance between education and fun. I only wish there were more episodes! With school vacation approaching, it'll take more than two shows to keep the kids entertained.

The worlds of comics and computers unite in Re\Visioned: Tomb Raider Animated Series, the latest addition to our cartoons category.

Popular comic writers and artists like Jim Lee, Warren Ellis, and David Alvarez created this unique series. While it’s fascinating to see how these different creative minds conceived Lara Croft, it's sometimes distracting to watch episodes that are stylistically so different.

Nevertheless, this is an interesting experiment and a great homage to one of the most iconic computer game characters of all time.
