For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I remember this show as a kid and how much I enjoyed watching. It is both an educational and entertaining show that teaches kids about the American Revolution. There are very few children's shows on television that are about history, much less those that are as good as this one. Sure, there are good shows that teach kids about many other subjects like math and English, however history is greatly overlooked.The story is about Sarah, a Loyalist girl from England, James, a colonial journalist working for Ben Franklin, Henri, a little French orphan, and Moses, a freed African who works at the print shop. Together they live and experience the American Revolution firsthand.However there is one thing I wish this show had done, which was show a little more of what it was like to be a loyalist in America during and post war. Sure there were a few loyalists here and there, but it would have been more interesting if they had shown a little more of the struggles that loyalist families had at that time and how families were torn apart do to the war. That aside, it's still a great history show for kids.Long story short, this is one of my favorite shows from when I was a kid, and there should be a lot more like this on television today. Particularly shows that can get kids interested and excited about history.

I watched this show as a high school student, that's how good it is. A clear, entertaining, intelligent and accurate depiction of American history. Every child in America should watch this and learn about REAL HEROES who fought and died during the first years of the United States. With a central cast of three diverse teenagers living under the roof of Benjamin Franklin, viewers watch the development and progress of the American Revolution. The show encapsulates the ideas or love, life, death, and freedom perfectly, without "dumbing down" history. A great show and a great way of teaching kids about the roots of their country. Watch it!

I remember when I first watched Liberty's Kids...It was during the summer of 2004. I was just flippin' through the channels and I came across the show. I thought, "What the heck? I'll watch this to pass the time." But, I was hooked! I was drawn to the colors. And, I thought that the theme song was very clever and moving. I was more attracted to the character development than anything else. I'm not really a history buff. But, this show actually got me interested in this period of United States's history. This show has something for every age. If you are into stuff about dates and war. This is for you! If you like emotions and high drama, watch this show! Get it on DVD! You won't be disappointed...!

We have the PBS Kids channel through Direct TV and I started watching this show along with my son once I got bored with all the other early morning weekday cartoons. As an American history lover, I was instantly hooked. The show is a very inventive way to teach children about the history of our country and I've even learned a few things here and there. I only wish there were more shows on TV like it.
