this show is the good part of my childhood, the songs remain absolute bangers
Always loved this show its very nostalgic and is just overall an amazing show very enjoyable.
A staple for so many childhoods. Achieved an untouchable cult status of sorts.
Best show when I was a kid and best show now
It's educational, funny and good for both children and adults- So much so, that they actually show it for education purposes! My Childhood.
Excellent show that doesn’t assume children don’t appreciate clever writing. Hilarious, entertaining, and so full of joy and passion
One of the best ways to learn the History stuff.
Such an amazing show, the cast is perfect, it never feels like it's talking down to kids and the jokes never miss! This is the noose at ten~
CLASSIC. Perfect balance or education and entertainment. I feel sorry for any generation what doesn’t get to experience this.
Funny and informative. Way better than school.
