I think a lot of Gen Xers have such great memories of Schoolhouse Rock because of its association with Saturday mornings, which were the one time of the week that belonged exclusively to kids. We were always excited to get up early on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons and the various kid friendly scheduling and anything associated with that brings back great memories
@Magnum314410 ай бұрын
Yo, well said. Loved sat mornings SO much. No children's programming on in those days except for those 4 or 5 special hours on that single day...and if you missed it, you missed it. No way to go back and watch it. Kids got it so good these days.

I'm pretty sure that most, if not all, 150 or so 7th graders that year, and several surrounding years, already knew it from SHR; I know I did. 😊 One just has to remember that the second line of the original The Preamble, "of the United States," was omitted from the SHR song, for rhythm or something, I guess, so if one knows the song, and has to recite it, don't forget that line! 🤜🏼🤛🏽

I had an English teacher who always put down schoolhouse rock. He couldn't see how anyone could learn anything by watching it. I had a hard time learning anything because Im dyslexic. This was before anybody had heard of it. I had an English test one day. I went through the quiz answering the ones I knew. Then I saw the word noun. The song, a noun is a person, place or thing popped into my mind. The lightbulb came on. I went back through the quiz thinking of all the songs and answered the questions for rest of the quiz. I was the first one who turned my paper in, something I'd never had done before. My teacher handed it back to me without looking at it. I handed it back to him and told him I knew I had all the questions correct. He looked it over just to humor me. His eyebrows rose higher and higher as he read my answers. He was in total shock and asked how i was able to get the right answers. I gave him a smug smile and said schoolhouse rock.

I bought the 30th anniversary edition from Hastings when it was released. Every Sunday, after church, the wife and I would take the kids to CiCis pizza then go home and pop in the DVD, hit shuffle and let them play. The kids would sing along and try to guess which one was coming on next. It was several hours of them singing while they were learning and not even realizing it. They all had their favorite song. My oldest graduated in 2014 and now works with me. We were talking about it a few years back and he told me it helped him greatly. If the subject had a song, he could answer the question. He said that at the time he just thought they were songs. He had no clue that a few short years from then he would be singing them to himself to pass a test.

Of COURSE “Schoolhouse Rock” merits preservation. But the Corporate Behemoths like Disney (who now owns ABC-TV, where these segments first aired) just DON’T CARE unless preserving such things makes a PILE OF MONEY FOR THEM! I can’t think of a way for that to happen, so unless someone who works where these things are stored STEALS THEM in in middle of the night, there’s no way they will ever be preserved. HUGE CORPORATE TV doesn’t care about ANYTHING but the almighty Bottom Line. Therefore, saving something of quality, such as the SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK series is NOT going to happen. If someone organized picket lines around EVERY BUILDING ABC-TV HAS from coast to coast, that MIGHT get ABC’s attention. But I’d say “Don’t Hold Your Breath.”.

One thing that amused me is that, via Schoolhouse Rock, we all learned that "a noun is a person, place, or thing." However, in later years, my english teacher used to hate that.

The themes covered included grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, and civics. The series' original run lasted from 1973 to 1985.” In the 90s they were revived and new ones were made for direct to video release. 1970s television was very different from today.

Loved that series. Thanks to "3 is a Magic Number," I count in threes, rather than pairs. 😏

I was out of school by the time this came on but every now and then “Conjunction Junction, that’s my function…” comes to mind. Except since I was working by then and didn’t get to see it, that phrase was the only part I remembered. It’s cute but after a while it gets tiresome hearing that one part of the song going through my head all the time!! I guess ear worm can attach itself to anything!

Back when we taught children about things that really matter! Imagine that...

I can still sing all the songs today. They were all over Saturday morning in the 80s

Needs a great redo. I also enjoyed a series about the Dewey Decimal system for books.

I remember all the words from the various iterations of Schoolhouse Rocks, but I have to admit they never really taught me anything that I later applied to actual school work except one thing -- the difficulty of a bill becoming a law in the American form of government always stuck with me. I have no idea why that one lesson resonated and the other lessons were more or less absorbed as jingles and nothing more.

When my kids (now both ROCKING college) hit kindergarten, I ordered the box set for them and had a blast revisiting these absolute BOPS from my childhood!

Disney or Nick should show this stuff on Kids TV, or at least show in Kindergarten class, instead of woke indoctrination to question their own sexuality
