What Parents Need to Know

About Kabillion

Parents need to know that this is a commercial, video-on-demand site run by Comcast Cable that lets kids watch what they want, when they want. Kids need to get permission from their parents to take part in the monitored and tame forums, but have access to most everything else (games, reading the comments, watching harmless user videos) without becoming a member. The site uses some savvy marketing tricks -- like doling out awards for the kids who earn the most "kachings" by playing games and featuring many ads for Comcast content.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the pros and cons of video on demand. When is it good to have instant access to what you want? Does it cause tube time to increase or are kids now able to be more efficient with their TV watching? How has it taken away -- or not -- from family TV or movie night?

    Jam Packed Site with Quality Cartoons!!

    This site should really be any kids (6-12) homepage. There is are tons of activities including games, contests, videos, and music to keep them occupied for a long time. Right when the kids sign up (with parental permission of course) they are given an avatar and a bedroom to decorate. The more they participate within the site, the more money they have to spend on decorating their room and character. With all the nonsense and dangerous sites available to kids, its refreshing to come across a site like Kabillion.
