Anyone else find ever themselves watching this animated show that teaches youngsters about the Revolutionary War?
It features some creative voice casting - Walter Cronkite is a regular as Ben Franklin, and guest voices have included Billy Crystal as John Adams and Arnold Schwartzenegger as General Pershing.
I could do without the silly boy band/hip-hop theme song, though.

Posted: 7/7/06 at 7:46pmYes, I've seen it.
Just because I got the lead doesn't mean you can't be my understudy!:)

Posted: 7/7/06 at 7:48pmWow, I haven't thought about this show in a while. It was (or still is) on after Zoboomafoo.

Posted: 7/7/06 at 9:00pmYup. I used to watch it. It was on PBS. Now it's moved to the WB on Saturday mornings.

I love this show! I remember in 5th grade looking foward to watching it every day. "Liberty's Kids" and "Arthur" used to be the only PBS Kids shows that I could stand. "Clifford: The Big Red Dog" was also pretty good, but when John Ritter died, they took it off the air in favor of "Clifford's Puppy Days", which explored Clifford's pre-Birdwell Island life. I think CPD crap, personally, but that's just me. I haven't watched Liberty's Kids in a while. It's just on to early in the morning for me.

Ha, it's an interesting & educational show. I found myself watching it if nothing else was on, when I was younger.
The theme song is sung by Aaron Cartter & some girl.
"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, take the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."
