Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

DM Kids has a fun, diverse mix of videos, including cartoons both classic and current, live-action educational programs, and music videos from tween-friendly artists. Kids will find many of their favorites here -- iCarly, SpongeBob, and of course, the ubiquitous Jonas Brothers -- but they might also discover something new and clever -- like the original Web series Ghost Town.

The site's design is simple and colorful, though on some backgrounds visitors can't see the set of links at the bottom of the page. Still, it's a great alternative to grown-up video sites, and its cool interface will surely be appreciated by its media-savvy target audience.
