What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this family-friendly show teaches history in a fun, accessible way. Viewers will enjoy tagging along on likable host Josh Bernstein's globetrotting adventures; the fact that he's also delivering a fairly comprehensive lecture on a broad range of topics -- ranging from archeology and sociology to anatomy and biology -- will probably go unnoticed by kids but be welcomed by adults.
