Synopsis

Perhaps the world's only animated sketch-comedy educational series, Histeria! delivers lessons that stick - to your funny bone. Hosted by Father Time, the cartoon cast careens through time to deliver historical facts from Siberia to Sumeria, despite the efforts of Miss Information, the claims of The World's Oldest Woman and the perpetually poopy diapers of the egg-shaped Big Fat Baby.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
milesschlenker I first saw this show about a year ago on in2tv.com. It is filled with some great ideas, but seldom brings them to the screen in a very funny way. I personally believe that this show has Monty Python syndrome. Monty Python syndrome is when a television show fails to make less than half of its jokes funny. Still, Hysteria! is a classic and is somewhat enjoyable. The most enjoyable aspect of the show was the music. This was the last television show by Warner Brothers that used a full orchestra and an original score in each episode. This was also the last show in the Tom Ruegger dynasty. The earlier shows of the dynasty included: Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, and Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain.
beelkay I loved this show. I love history, and the way they played with history was one of the show's charms. It was very much in the vein of "Animaniacs," which I also loved. I'm hoping for DVDs someday! My friends and I still use some of the Lucky Bob-isms, such as "Yeth, now!" and "Heyo!" The songs and humor were top-notch, and the characters were hilarious. The kids were all distinct, and Father Time and the World's Oldest Woman were always a kick. One of my favorite episodes was a spoof of the Real World. Several famous historical people had to live together, such as Elizabeth I, who was obviously modeled on Bette Davis, and Caesar, who was Frank Sinatra. So funny!
Randall Bart Hysteria is a cross between a cartoon show and a history class: Like a cartoon it doesn't inform, and like a history class it doesn't amuse. Okay, that wasn't true all the time, but it was true too often. Sometimes it goes a long time between gags because it's trying to teach, but it's dull and loses the audience. It has too many factual errors (and gags that a child can misinterpret as fact) to be considered educational. It screws up facts that can easily be done right, like a map of the USA as of 1861 which shows the Pacific coast, but doesn't show California and Oregon as states. It's a great concept, but hard to do right, and they didn't put the detail work into doing it right.
mrc1149 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.
