Spreety.com is positioning itself with the big boys. It aims to be the preferred site for those who miss TV shows or wish to view all their ‘TV’ over the net. They cover an incredible range of TV genres and are obviously trawling for a wide audience… but do they have what it takes to reel them all in?

Online Kids TV
The Kids TV links from spreety.com

This site has online kids TV for shows, movies, sports, news and more. It covers a wide range of programs across all genres.

The Spreety.com homepage somehow makes you want to take a step back as soon as it opens.  It has so much content; all listed in helpful headings with show logos, but the combination of these plus the multitude of tags and promos gives the site a really crowded, confusing feel.

One problem with the content is the breadth of material. The site includes content for adults, older kids and pre-schoolers, so some parents will not be happy that they have integrated everything into one site. As the site is so cluttered anyway, it would have made sense to have splintered this site into several, one of which could be dedicated to kids TV which would also ensure security issues are taken into account.

The site does not offer its own content; it simply links into to the viewing sections of individual show sites. However, Spreety.com does give viewers all the choice in one place and provides comprehensive access to a range of free and pay to view kids online TV.

In terms of addressing the needs of the children’s television audience, it has the downside of straying into areas not appropriate for younger kids, without warning.
Educational Value: 3/10

What can be learned here? This grades the educational value of the site for children..

There are educational categories such as ‘documentaries’, ‘science’ and ‘history’.

It would be nice to have had these grouped together into an education section so that parents and kids have easier access to find this type of resource. They can easily get lost within the general content of this crowded site.

How interactive is this site? Is there a Facebook Group? Twitter? RSS feeds? Linked In? We found out..
There are no social options on this site but there is a blog and articles on online TV themes. Whilst not particularly sociable, these features are an attempt to interact with viewers.
Navigation: 1/10

How good is the picture quality on this site? Is the video picture blurred or clear? Do they offer HD? .

This site has hundreds of shows, all listed under categories. The navigation is logical and fairly quick. However, in terms of visuals it’s just overkill. The site is VERY cluttered, making it a little intimidating and off putting, particularly for kids to use.

Different genres are listed and ‘Kids TV’ is one of these.

The individual shows were all listed, using their show logos, in alphabetical listings. However, it would have been easier to find specific shows if they had been broken down by alphabetical headings.

Below the list of show logos, each show is then listed again, this time with information and various links. This doesn’t need to be listed here as you can access the same information by clicking on the logos. It is just another example of content overload in a site that already has slow loading pages.

For this amount of content and for ease of navigation, the site needs more headings and subpages.
Fun Factor: 3/10

Ok, how fun is this site? Are there games on offer? Does it do stupid things to photos? Run stupid competitions? We gave extra points for craziness..
There is a bit of everything here, news, horror, education and, yes, fun.
Originality: 1/10

Why is it different to other kids TV sites? We graded originality and innovation..

The aim of this site is to complement or replace the TV. It can act as a means of catching up on missed shows or for daily viewing. It has paid and free sections, videos which are full length or just clips, as well as classic and modern TV shows of all categories.

In terms of originality Spreety.com is trying very hard to cover all bases but we are left wondering whether they would have been better to focus on a narrower remit and do it all that much better.

Can you trust this site? This grades the site's suitability for children. Does it give parental advice? Does it link to unsuitable sites? Does it lead to download viruses?.
The safety net on this site is decidedly holey. We somehow strayed into a Live TV section (off this main site) and were greeted by some unsavory messages on the live chat feature.  There were also links to TV content aimed at an older audience. This was not a site many parents would want kids trawling through without parental support.

Dear Dozen Kids,

Thank you for the review of Spreety. Our design team is considering a kids subdomain () with filters and a simplified interface, very similar to the recommendations described.

Please consider taking a second look in March, 2010.

Kind regards,

Ron from Spreety
