Review of Histeria!

Histeria! (1998–2000)
Cross between cartoon and history class
18 April 2004
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.
