    ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
    Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

    MartinHafer For years, this show and "Time Squad" were programs I actively looked for to buy. After all, I used to be a history teacher and loved how the shows made fun of our past. Plus, if I had to be forced to watch a cartoon with my kids, I sure preferred these to the rest of the recent cartoons. However, I have just about given up hope, as years later, they STILL have not been released.So what did I like about "Histeria!". Well, it wasn't its historical accuracy, that's for sure. But I did appreciate how it taught the kids a bit of history but couched it in humor. Additionally, I loved how there was plenty of humor for the adults--such as the very funny lady censor who kept interrupting the show during its bawdier moments. All in all, fun, semi-educational and clever. My only reason for not giving it a higher score is that like so many made for TV cartoons, the quality of the animation was only about average.
    mrc1149 This show was so funny, I mean it's even funny in another language! This show was my favorite for so long like one year but the way they took historical characters and made it funny took talent. Trust me there was a lot of talent in this show and it showed because many, many children enjoyed it and they learned from it.
    sngbrd39 As did most other people, I thought this show came in at the weaker end of the Warner Bros./Steven Spielberg output. However, that's not to say that it wasn't funny. C'mon, think about "Women Leaders in Group Therapy" as did another commentator. Think of the episode which had a story about Thomas Jefferson played out like an episode of the Jack Benny show. Think of World's Oldest Woman opening a trap door in the floor and speaking to Hitler as he burned in hell. (Yes, that actually happened in one episode.) I guess what I'm saying is that no, it was not as good as "Animaniacs" or "Freakazoid!", but yes, it was still worth watching. Personally, I thought it was a rather funny show (too much Big Fat Baby at times, though), and at times, it was even rather educational. Unfortunately, the reruns aren't played anymore, as is the case with all the Warner/Spielberg cartoons, which makes me very unhappy. When Spongebob Squarepants is allowed to roam freely and these shows aren't, you know there's something wrong.
    dakim 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.
