One of the Best!
Robin Hood is currently one of the best shows.
It is clean-no *iffy* content between men and women, no foul language, and not overly violent.
A fun storyline, and interesting characters.
It is horribly corny, but so much fun.
Mind, I have only seen the second season, I can't vouch for the first one :) But what i've seen is wonderful.
I'm impressed with how clean it is-and it's a British show!
That is the only problem, I won't watch the show live, have to record it because the British TV commercials are horribly offensive.
But Robin Hood is one of the best shows on TV.

A modern Robin Hood
This version of Robin Hood has echoes of today's political climate. War veteran Robin returns home from the Middle East to find that civil liberties have been suspended in the name of peace.
I Tivo episodes to watch with my 7- and 9-year-old sons -- not only because it's on past their bedtime, but also so I can skip through commercials for racy shows and natural male enhancement products. This also lets me talk with them about what they're seeing. The situations can be a bit much for elementary-age kids to watch on their own.
The Sheriff is the most intriguing character -- all jolly cruelty. Gisborne sometimes seems conflicted; he wants to be a good man for Marian, but he also wants power and thus goes along with the Sheriff. Marian feels constricted by social expectations. And the relationship between Much and Robin offers opportunities to talk about the nature of friendship and leadership.
All in all, this is a good series for kids who like adventure and derring-do. I'd just recommend watching it with them and zapping the commercials.

Great Fun
This is a terrific show. It doesn't take it self too seriously. The fight scenes are cartoonish(I mean that in a good way) The characters are likeable except for the two bad guys who are wonderfully bad. Right beats might everytime.
The actors are all good and play the roles with energy and charm.

Good show, but NOT for younger children, or possibly even tweens...
I've not seen all of this, so this might not be as accurate as some other reviews, however I shall try my best.
First of all, I don't think it preachy at all, and the action is so much that I laughed when I read this.
But on with the review.
The show is definitely NOT a kid's show. It is entertaining, it could even be kind of... lifting(?) to watch at times, because of the families that Robin helps. Robin could even be considered a decent role model. However, the violence is rather disturbing. Despite Robin Hood's refusal to harm people, the Sheriff's blatant disregard for life is, as I said a minute ago, highly disturbing. The always in danger feeling that this show produces kind of get's a little old at times, leaving you wanting SOMETHING to go right.
This show has some pretty funny moments, and the cunning that the characters have adds a ton to the show. I could do without the more... Romantic aspects of the show. I don't think it's that bad... A lot of flirting, a ton of kissing from Robin Hood... But I suppose nothing that I can't just fast forward through xD.
All in all it's a pretty good show, something better to watch than a lot of other junk on TV today.

goooood
really good, but not perfect show. if a movie it would be: Rated PG-13 for epic battle sequences, brief sensuality, and some disturbing images.

favorite robin h. ever!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!! there are a few cheesy parts, but the acting definitely makes up for that. but i really hated the ending to season 2. there is some violence(but *completely* bloodless.and nothing beyond kissing. in the 3rd season there's a tiny bit of swearing(h*ll, and d**m) nothing that bad.and i ABSOLUTELY hated the ending of season 3 as well. but i love jonas and lucy together as robin and marian.they are PERFECT!

GREAT for mature kids.
Great for kids who are mature enough that Robin Hood doesnt kill, but does when innocents are in danger. U have to be mature enough to get the dialect.

Great for kids with a healthy repsect for others
One of the hardest lessons to live out is speaking up for and defending those who are being bullied. As a parent of a bullied child, one of the best lessons our daughter has learned is to defend those who cannot defend themselves. She saw Robin Hood as a role model. She put this lesson into action and has defended the younger kids on the bus from the bully who tormented her. She found her power and became the Robin Hood of her bus. Also, finding solutions to problems outside the box is always a good thing. The violence doesn't worry us, Robin does try to avoid it just as she does with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She understands what it feels like to get a whollup and has a healthy respect for what damage can be done by either party. My only dislike of the show is pleasure with which the Sherriff inflicts pain on others. I address my concerns occassionally, pressing the point that this is something her father and I consider evil. We talk with her about why this is such an inhuman thing.

Great TV show, violent, but with swords and arrows, not guns
I am 12, and a homeschooler, and with our homeschool co-op, which took place at my house, after all our classes we would go upstairs and watch this. It IS violent, but, hey! It's robin hood, not blues clues. A lot of the violence is implied, and by the way I have seen each episode of all three seasons at least twice. In our co-op, the youngest was 6 or 7, and the oldest was 14. We all loved it, except for one kid who thought it was silly.
