The Who Was? Show

It's ok but not a patch on Horrible Histories! My kids will watch it but it's not as engaging as HH by a long shot!

This show is funny. Though it did not provide much information, this show makes me curious about the historical figure. I ended up searching about it on the internet myself. I don't really like history, but this show makes me fascinated about it.

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.

...and educational too. I enjoyed watching it with my family. Family shows are hard to come by these days. We enjoyed the humor and information.

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.
