    Educational, modern and fun!

    I watch this with my kiddo. It's fun, upbeat and we learn something new watching it. My 8 year old also watches it with her classmates.

    Took more than an episode to win me, but it won me big!

    My initial response to this series was that I kind of hated it. However, my almost ten-year-old son positively loved it, so I started paying closer attention to it. I'd say it's geared toward tweens and older. After giving it a fair chance, I discovered the writing is actually quite intelligent, and the humor causes my son to watch them over and over... and over. In just days, he's started weaving information about Marie Curie, Queen Elizabeth I, and others into conversation and speaking intelligently about them. These are people of which he previously knew little or nothing. This show won't be for everyone because of its quirky nature, but I personally hope they continue for many seasons.

    Hilarious for kids and adults but...

    Hilarious for kids and adults but...I wish there was more of a mix of female and male historical figures. Glad they feature some females but there could be more. For example, why is George Washington Carver featured from the Civil War era but not Harriet Tubman?! Overall really well done, super talented young actors and sharp humor for both adults and children alike. My eight-year-old daughter and I always have a lot of laugh out loud moments.

    Love the show

    My daughter loves this show and watched the series 100 times. I hope there's another season. She actually remembers facts

    So close

    My 7 year old daughter and i really enjoy the show however i really dislike how they make the "grown up" seem like idiots. Not the influence i want for my children.
