How I Discovered This:
I woke up at 6 one day and turned on the tv and this is what I saw.
I didn't watch this by choosing it out of several shows, I should have just?watched the FREE MONEY infomercial,?and never will watch it?again.

Premsie: 8/10
It is supposed to teach kids about the Revolutionary War, in a safe, understandable, and?cartoon manner.

How they messed that up: 0/10
That 0 isn't there to say they did a bad job at making the show suck. The show sucks. Imagine the Revolutionary War. Think about it for a second. Now subtract guns, Ye Olde English, military action, and excitement. Imagine staring at a finger painting for three hours and during this time it would randomly morph into the Mona Lisa for a few seconds. This is an accurate description of the linguistics. It goes from Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson bickering over what crayons to use for the Constitution, to some of Ben Franklin's most quoted lines during the war. Grade school level conversation to something that historians still talk about today, and the kids are supposed to follow this? Its like an animated textbook with all of the edge that PBS and ABC Family dish out during prime time. STOP THE REVOLUTION FOR I HAVE A COLD. In one of the scenes the two central 10?/12? year-old characters try to send word to Franklin requesting a document to proclaim the colonies independant. They go to the stables and explain their entire need of the horses to a loyalist. In a wartime scenario normally they would be arrested or killed, but this is the Legions of PBS. Imagine the drop-outs of the Imperial Stormtrooper Academy, they would be the generals of this army. "HHAHA, we are grabbing both of your wrists behind your back so you can't run and tell anyone. BLEKHYUKHYUK. DON"T LET HIM RUN AWAY!", this is what the show's script should have been. Fully trained soldiers with guns and years of experience and training can't defeat the cunning of a ten year old.

Redeeming Qualities: 1?/10

It has commercials in it and doesn't run straight through the half-hour.

OVERALL: 0/10
NEVER WATCH
