I LOVE this show. Very colorful and whimisical! It's definitely the first of its kind on primetime TV, especially that the kids today more know about sci-fi and video games than literature & fairy tales!
I like how Jim Dale, as the narrator, delivers each storyline. I particularly like the ‘Young Ned was 9 years, 10 months, 12 days and 6 minutes old when he... parts and the standard 'The facts were these...'.
Aside from the excellent writing and set design, it doesn't hurt that the cast is made up of real actors - they have theater experience.
