What's the Story?

SERIOUSLY FUNNY KIDS features Project Runway host Heidi Klum interacting with children in order to bring out their funny side. The show features Klum interviewing kids to see what insights they offer about things like American history and relationships. With the help of hidden cameras, she also plays some pranks on some unsuspecting children. Home videos sent in by viewers also add to the fun.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (1 ):

The unscripted series features some amusing scenes thanks to the reactions of some very funny kids. Klum appears comfortable when she interacts with her young guests, which makes the show feel very genuine. Meanwhile, the practical jokes played on the kids are good-natured, and always end on a positive note.

Unfortunately, some of the silly gags seem to go on too long, and at times Klum just isn't very funny. Some of the jokes featured here are a little risqué, and Klum's trendy outfits and ultra high heels sometimes seem out of place. Luckily, the kids featured here are so humorous and insightful that they make up for these shortfalls.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
