Seasons
Season 1
The story follows a light-bulb-head orphan, named Otto Osworth, who is under the watchful eye of the nasty nun of the School for Wayward Tots, named Sister Thornly, who treats him badly for reading history books. Otto soon finds his ticket out of the orphanage, by using his knowledge of history to talk time cop Buck Tuddrussel and his robot Larry into abducting him. He is suddenly zapped to the satellite and to Eli Whitney's time where they must convince him to invent the cotton gin, not the flesh-eating robot.
Season 2
After returning from an exausting mission to Attila's army of huns, Time Squad is having a hard time deciding whose description of their adventure to believe!

User Reviews
Fairly historically accurate jokes, but you need to be familiar with history for most of it to make sense. The joke is always that history is going wrong, but they barely mention the correct path as they ignore things going off the rails and focus on just one historical figure... seems geared towards adults oddly enough. As far as teaching kids history or even having age appropriate humor, "Oh brother, this show stinks!".
