CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

MartinHafer Perhaps this will come off as a bit smug, but sometimes TV shows are too clever and too transcendent--and therefore they are doomed to fail. I think this is the case with "Time Squad". While the basic story idea is basically a reworking of "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" (with Otto looking an awful lot like Sherman), the show had a really smart style and writing that probably baffled audiences. In some ways, much of the humor was lost of kids (such as the jokes and the rather 'special' relationship between Tuddrussel and Larry) and adults, who might have enjoyed the show, avoided it because it was a cartoon. As for me, I showed a few of the episodes to my history classes and the kids loved them--even if the stories were highly suspect historically speaking. But, the show WAS quite funny.By the way, I have no idea why but the IMDb page for this show is VERY incomplete. It doesn't even list the full cast and most of the episodes aren't even listed or their air dates. Odd. And, it also makes it appear as if the show is STILL on--though it ended in November, 2003.

dino_cale16 Time Squad has historical figures that in retarded way still manages to educate kids about history. Eli Whitney, Sigman Freud, Copernicus, Kubla Khan, Earl Sandwich, Buffalo Bill, Hatfields and McCoys, Louis Pasteur, Hernando de Soto, Alfred B. Nobel, Samuel Morris, Al Capone, General Patton are 13 historical figures among the 63 historical figures covered that many kids might not know about. Some like Kubla Khan and Hernando De Soto aren't even household names that grown-up might not know. These are also the ONLY 13 historical figures out of 63 historical figures are some of I didn't know about until I saw Time Squad. I am actually a history whiz like Otto. As I said Time Squad is really educational show, but is really, really off when it comes to history. On one mission when they back in time to see Amelia Earhart one of the Time Squad told her to get lost in the Bermuda Triangle from California in real life she was supposed to die in Japan because the Japanese thought she was in a fighter plan. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic first, and the Pacific. Also an episode to see Albert Einstein the historical alarm showed that he was in Texas. Albert Einstein was a German physicist not an American mathematician. On another one when they had to go see Socrates they got a lot of the setting of Ancient Greece wrong. They made it like first century AD, Pompeii, Italy. On another one to see George Washington the screen said 1778 and they went back to convince him not to resign. In real life the US didn't have an official president to 1789. On a mission to see George Washington…Carver, an African American he actually died around 1915 and invented more than 101 uses for the peanut, but more than like 900! On a mission to see Abraham Lincoln they said who he was about to see a play at the Ford Theatre and die in 1863. In real life he died in 1865. Lastly on a mission to see Johan Gutenberg and Joan of Arc they were mixed up in professions by names. In real life Gutenberg lived about sixty years after Joan of Arc. From saying that Africa is mostly jungle to saying Bush is democrat it is a funny yet stupid show.

candaceelder2002 I think the title explains itself, doncha think?If there's one thing I learned from watching this cartoon is this: Do NOT underestimate its content.When I first watched "Time Squad", I was not impressed with it. I too thought it was dull and annoying. I figured that it was going to be another stupid made-for-Cartoon Network cartoon (a "Cartoon Cartoon") that would become overrated overtime.Imagine my surprise when I was reunited with this insane show.I found myself laughing at it from the parodies, the pop culture references, the puns, the stupidity, the way the historical characters are corrupted, the campiness, the broad humor that can get really racy at times...it was all there.However, I think of this show as a show for the older crowd who still watches cartoons (I mean, what kids is going to watch a show like this when they have those annoying Nicktoons?).This show is really dear to me and its proven to be a favorite if you have the attention span for it and if you don't watch Cartoon Network for the classic cartoons (which aren't bad, but they get overplayed).

BlackCat725 I stumbled across this cartoon while digesting my Easter dinner and I have to admit, it's great! It makes me think of the old Bullwinkle Show and how Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman would teach me about history. I agree with another comment, it's funny AND educational. I watch it with my 4 1/2 year old son and I know he's not 'getting' 1/2 the jokes but he still loves it. I personally am not that fond of a lot of the "Cartoon Cartoon" shows (except for Dexter and Powerpuff) but this one is good. I do have a hard time not thinking of Bobby Hill though when Otto is talking....
