From another reviewer at IMDb.com
Thank you to the user, Carflo for their comment. It is very
true. I remember well, watching Robin Hood as a child and
it was so much loved, along with William Tell. It shaped my
character for goodness and fair-play. Every episode is full
of suspense and there is usually lots of action. There are
so many life's lessons to be learned. To treat others as you
would want to be treated. To treat all women with respect
and the women to look up to good men. The kids today
are really missing out and many of the programs on TV
these days are only promoting violence and sex. No wonder
we have so much crime. Bring back the good old Family
values. Enjoy all the series, and show your kids! - eddstep
