I am among those who watched this show when it first came out when I was in Jr. High. It was very funny and they had a way of twisting things so they became ridiculous. My favorite episode was probably the one where Lief Erikson was picking out a figurehead for his Viking Ship. It is true that this show can be sort of annoying at times, but it's not really that bad. The people who criticize it for the depiction of the evil dictators are taking it too seriously. It's true that Genghis khan and all them up to Josef Stalin are evil dictators, but they didn't actually show the evil stuff they did on the show. They just covered that part of history, and depicted it humorously because that's what the show is all about. It wasn't really harmful. The one thing that I have against this show is that sometimes the twist to the story that is added for humor purposes sometimes confused me of the actual occurrence in history.

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.

"Histeria!" has both it's share of funny moments and it's share of um... less funny moments. I do like it's parody of history and how it makes fun of it. But I do think that it's audience is not that that it's intended for. Adults will understand the jokes much more than children. I especially like The Oldest Woman in the World. Cute show.

Histeria! is a great series that reaches a broad age range. Histeria! is a program which allows a set cast of characters to interact with many of histories great personalities in their own way, while introducing the viewer to lifestyles and conditions in which they lived. Younger children will enjoy its simplicity, action and the chorus. Older viewers (I am 27 myself, and working on my masters) will get a lot of the higher brow humor, it is in this way that the show reminds me of much older animation. 9 stars out of 10
