A world of learning and adventure for your kids to enjoy, thanks to Ameba on Google TV

Guest to the Google TV blog, Kim Lachance Shandrow, Ameba’s Digital Content Manager shares all the great content your kids can enjoy on Ameba.

Ever wish you could let your kids watch TV without having to sit right over their shoulders to make sure everything’s kosher? I’m talking about younger kids, ages 2 to 12. Curious little explorers who still like to watch fun, innocent -- and, yes, even educational -- shows, like The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That, BusyTown Mysteries, and WordWorld.  

Where can your kiddos get all those great shows? On Ameba’s new Google TV app, where you’ll never, ever have to helicopter parent what your kids watch. In fact, Ameba is so family-friendly and easy for kids to use, you won’t even have to help them choose what to watch. They’ll love being in charge.


Ameba’s visually intuitive Google TV app was designed specifically to put younger kids in the driver’s seat of their viewing experience. It’s bright, fun, and easy to navigate. Plus, there’s no inappropriate content or commercials for kids to accidentally crash into.

In two clicks or less, even preschool-aged kids can easily find and play their favorite Ameba shows and discover new ones. Finally, you can sit back, relax, and let the kids watch what they want. Better yet, they’ll laugh and learn the whole time.
If your little sleuth likes unraveling mysteries, she’ll love solving cliffhangers with Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm, and friends on BusyTown Mysteries. Or, if your little one’s a fan of Dr. Seuss, bring them along for a wild Thinga-ma-jigger ride with Sally, Nick, and The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That.

Have a tween? They’ll dig Ruby Skye P.I., a hilarious indie mystery series starring a quirky teen detective. Without spoiling it, let’s just say it’s about a girl trying to make sense of a nutty neighbor with fake pets, missing brownies, and a disappearing best friend. It’s all in a day’s work for Ruby Skye, P.I.!

As a mom of three, I totally get that kids are always hungry for new stuff to watch. That why we’re always adding fresh, new shows to our library. Stay tuned for lots more soon.

It’s easy to add our new Ameba app to your Google TV device for free. You’ll get instant access to thousands of hours of all the latest Ameba TV shows and videos – streamed directly to your big screen for fast, convenient, and anytime viewing from the comfort your home. Trust me, your kids will thank you.
