What do you think? Are you familiar with the Who Was? books? Will you and your family watch The Who Was? Show?
My kids love The Who Was Show! It is quality programming that combines learning and humor. My 7 and 10 year olds have become familiar with all the historical figures featured so far, and are excited when they hear mention of them in every day life. Waiting on Season 2! Hope they make another season.
We absolutely love The Who Was Show, my 7 yr daughter goes crazy over it and has watch the whole Season I don’t know how many times. I really think they have a unique positive thing going on here, my little girl has a new strong interest in History which helps me teach her. I do hope they make a Season 2.
My family and I are absolutely obsessed with this show. I’m a history buff, and I love that my kids (girls ages 9 and 12) are getting more interested in history, and it’s due to this quirky show! But I can’t find any information if there will be a second season. Is there a way to petition to Netflix to continue this show?
Great show for kids! Funny, interactive, and colorful, but teaches kids some facts about history in a memorable way!
My one year old son LOVES watching The Who Was? Show! He smiles and dances to the intro song everytime and loves the music (especially the William Shakespeare ones lol) when we watch something else at the end will be the commercial for The Who Was? Show and he runs up to the TV so we HAVE to watch it! Haha cannot wait for season 2!
Great show my 5 yr old loves it is funny creative, modern it might have things that kid can’t understand that’s why you as a parent seat with your kid and explain to them as well… love it love it better then having kids watch monster high or other cartoons the aren’t teaching them anything .
Why are they not crediting Horrible Histories the BBC show this is such a blatant rip off of? If she see this, please check out the superior BBC original.
This has absolutely nothing to do with horrible histories – the show is based on the series of books “Who Was”
Just started watching the show and I’m curious as to how’s it’s appropriate for children to see a character hit another character in the testicles.
