The Who Was? Show

I enjoy the puns and clever jokes. I appreciate the Tidbits character providing lots of little facts that I didn't know. But man, the Benjamin Franklin and Gandhi episode seemed to have a heavy political statement about how stupid the founding fathers of the US were and how wise and perfect Gandhi was. The episode with Isaac Newton and Amelia Earhart was one of the most sexist things I have seen against men. Can you imagine if a man suddenly stopped a female narrator and said "I will not have some faceless woman narrate my life, let me get an awesome modern man to do it instead"? Well, that's what Amelia Earhart does to the male narrator. They continue to put Amelia on a pedestal while making Isaac Newton look like the most selfish person who ever lived. I've been watching this with my son and I'm concerned that he might get a message that his gender is lesser to females even though he's getting a fun history lesson.

My boys (ages 8 & 12) LOVE this show! They have watched each episode multiple times and have enjoyed history more than they ever have before. Super fun approach to learning about history and human rights! Can't wait for more seasons!

My kids love this show. It's hilarious (for adults too) and full of nuggets of information. Is it a purely educational play? No. If you're looking for a boring historical drama (spinach), this is not for you. It is a comedy.....and it's irreverent....and the kids eat it up. They still walk away with new bits knowledge, but served up in a way that they love (pizza) and gets them excited and interested to go explore more on their own.

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.
