I have seen a lot of H H Holmes documentaries over the years and have read Devil in the White City. This documentary is absolute trash. There are scenes from the time period that do not match the narration at all. Then, there are other scenes that look like they're a PG rated beginnings of a snuff film!! It's atrocious. Do not watch it. Stopped watching with 15 minutes left in the movie.

My 4 yr old and 6 yr old daughters LOVE this show. I've recorded all the episodes and they watch them daily. They sing along to the songs and know the words to all the episodes. We're not big Disney channel viewers because my girls prefer Nickeoleon, but this one Disney exception.

I think Disney was attempting to come up with a suitable option to Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants and I think they succeeded. Spongebob doesn't have any educational qualities but at least Jake and the Neverland Pirates allows kids to count and use deductive reasoning. In addition, I think that Disney is trying to "ride the tide" of the Pirates of the Caribbean success and the interest that children have in pirates.

Good job Disney.
