Histeria!

I loved this show. I love history, and the way they played with history was one of the show's charms. It was very much in the vein of "Animaniacs," which I also loved. I'm hoping for DVDs someday! My friends and I still use some of the Lucky Bob-isms, such as "Yeth, now!" and "Heyo!" The songs and humor were top-notch, and the characters were hilarious. The kids were all distinct, and Father Time and the World's Oldest Woman were always a kick. One of my favorite episodes was a spoof of the Real World. Several famous historical people had to live together, such as Elizabeth I, who was obviously modeled on Bette Davis, and Caesar, who was Frank Sinatra. So funny!

Histeria is a wonderful cartoon that takes well known history stories and makes them entertaining! History was never this fun! Of course, the stories are much different from before, so the show isn't the most educational show ever, but it makes up for that with its entertainment. The writers were obviously thinking "What would it be like if Napoleon and Alexander the (Not So) Great lived in the society we live in today?" This is one of the reasons this show is so entertaining. It mixes normally boring history lessons with everyday characters and life situations of the present. This makes the show very entertaining. Definitely worth a look!

As a history major, I'd just like to say that I loved this show. It was clever and silly at the same time. I've been able to use episodes I taped for school projects and my professors just loved it. Sure, it was not as much for the mainstream audience like some of the other Warner Bros. shows, but that's what I liked about it. Where else could you see a cartoon of Napoleon pointing to countries on a map and saying, "Got it. Got it. Want it. Need it!" I can see how some people would not get many of the jokes, but for the most part I felt this show painted a wonderful, fun view of history that should be used in classrooms. Kids can only take so much of text book facts and videos that had been made in the 70's.

I used to watch this show on Kids WB on weekdays when I came home from school. I was in the sixth grade and I found it to be very cute, amusing, fun, and educational. I was sad to see this show leave and I wish the reruns were still on T.V.

One of my favorite episodes was the one when George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were trying to pick out a national anthem. This episode had many good songs on it and, like all "Histeria!" songs, I liked them. Other good episodes I really liked were the ones with the Underground Railroad and the Revolutionary War. Those episodes were really funny.

Overall "Histeria!" was a very good show and I wish there were more shows like it on T.V. I give this show 10/10 stars.

Unlike the other person who commented, I find this show both funny and semi-educational. The actors (especially Rob Paulsen, who does several bit parts on the show) do a superb job of portraying the historical characters, and the writing is creative and witty. True, it may not be completely historically accurate, but it is a cartoon that is primarily geared towards entertainment and not education. I do find Big Fat Baby a bit much, but I suppose he appeals to kids. I believe Histeria! is a wonderful show, and I recommend it to any cartoon fan.
