For Better or Werts

DOWNLOAD THIS: Free kid shows from iTunes

Give the kids something portable to watch by downloading free first episodes currently being offered at the iTunes Store.

Among them: the premieres of iCarly, Ben 10, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Bakugan, and the inevitable Hannah Montana.

Episodes can be watched on iPods, iPhones, laptops and other computers. (More about iTunes here.)

Of course, the iTunes folks hope you'll keep right on downloading further adventures that require shelling out money to purchase (they're offering entire seasons under $20).

But you aren't obligated to buy, so go ahead and grab more than 5 hours of free stuff.

Diane Werts

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
