Great show, but just wait a few months! - I ve loved this show since I first saw it back in early 2003. During AP US History, this show actually helped incite curiosity and understanding for the complex period that is the American Revolution. It s also the series that made me curious into looking into American History deeper, and reading up on the finer details of America s birth.The timeline, which features events from the Boston Massacre to the ratification for the US Constitution, is actually quite accurate -- they merely paint into the story the fictional characters of James (the teenage American-patriot), Sarah (the unsure British-loyalist), and Henri (the younger French-sidekick) alongside the historical Founding Fathers.That said, this is the 6-disc DVD available from the PBS store for teachers. A ridiculous price yes, but it won t be for long. Shout Factory will be releasing DiC s complete series on DVD once again this fall, October 14th to be exact, and the price will be signifigantly cheaper, in the more familiar range of about $59.99!! So, yes be sure to buy this series, it s great fun for the whole family and you ll actually learn loads from it . . . just be sure to get the better priced one. :)

Well worth the money - As an 18 year old kid I ve seen first hand how apathetic kids are about history. I, on the other hand, love the subject, especially American history, and am in no way embarrased to watch this show (it s a great show). However, if rockyourworld could just lower the price of the set by about $550 then it would actually be within my reach to buy it. Just thought I d suggest it.

Very accurate!! - This is one of the best ways to introduce American History to children. My son found this series a few months ago and he liked it so much, we ve had to DVR it and see every episode in order. Additionally, speaking as a middle school history teacher, this series is a very accurate portrayal of the events, so I have begun recording the series for my students and they LOVE IT!!

One of the best kids series ever - Truly an exciting as well as educational experience for all-my 14 year old enjoyed it just as much as my 7-year old. It was hard for me to take my eyes away too!
