Time Squad has historical figures that in retarded way still manages to educate kids about history. Eli Whitney, Sigman Freud, Copernicus, Kubla Khan, Earl Sandwich, Buffalo Bill, Hatfields and McCoys, Louis Pasteur, Hernando de Soto, Alfred B. Nobel, Samuel Morris, Al Capone, General Patton are 13 historical figures among the 63 historical figures covered that many kids might not know about. Some like Kubla Khan and Hernando De Soto aren't even household names that grown-up might not know. These are also the ONLY 13 historical figures out of 63 historical figures are some of I didn't know about until I saw Time Squad. I am actually a history whiz like Otto. As I said Time Squad is really educational show, but is really, really off when it comes to history. On one mission when they back in time to see Amelia Earhart one of the Time Squad told her to get lost in the Bermuda Triangle from California in real life she was supposed to die in Japan because the Japanese thought she was in a fighter plan. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic first, and the Pacific. Also an episode to see Albert Einstein the historical alarm showed that he was in Texas. Albert Einstein was a German physicist not an American mathematician. On another one when they had to go see Socrates they got a lot of the setting of Ancient Greece wrong. They made it like first century AD, Pompeii, Italy. On another one to see George Washington the screen said 1778 and they went back to convince him not to resign. In real life the US didn't have an official president to 1789. On a mission to see George Washington
Carver, an African American he actually died around 1915 and invented more than 101 uses for the peanut, but more than like 900! On a mission to see Abraham Lincoln they said who he was about to see a play at the Ford Theatre and die in 1863. In real life he died in 1865. Lastly on a mission to see Johan Gutenberg and Joan of Arc they were mixed up in professions by names. In real life Gutenberg lived about sixty years after Joan of Arc. From saying that Africa is mostly jungle to saying Bush is democrat it is a funny yet stupid show.
