This is literally the FIRST time that a segment of Schoolhouse Rock appeared on television.

[@michaelterry1000]

I don’t know why they stopped showing Schoolhouse Rock. I think it was highly effective. I was born in 1962 so I was 9 when this aired. All the way up through high school I would hear other students singing the ‘preamble to the constitution’ or ‘I am just a bill’ or ‘conjunction junction’. Yea, we would all laugh, but we all knew it.

[@manofmanyinterests]

@@michaelterry1000 I agree. Schoolhouse Rock educated us by entertaining us, and that is the greatest method of all.

[@MultiAnimationdude]

Not to mention the bit from 27:49-28:05, which has NEVER been seen since this episode was first broadcast! Someone should send this video to Disney so they can restore it for Disney+, and I mean NOW!

[@martyklestadt6766]

I'm very grateful for that part. Before today, I never knew about that "missing" part of the song that was here but never aired again. Really cool to see it here.

[@matthewweatherford6566]

​@@MultiAnimationdude They would probably have to restore the original master and according to Wikipedia, the original masters of this show were destroyed in 1973. This is someone's recording of the broadcast.

[@AmbroseOLippe]

"Curiosity Shop" (created and produced by Charles M. "Chuck" Jones), was videotaped at a broadcast studio located at 1313 Vine Street in Hollywood. That building is now part of AMPAS, the organization that fobs off Oscars each year. The program seen was an hour long prime time special that aired on September 10th, 1971 to kick off ABC's Saturday morning lineup for the 1971-72 season. And yes, that was the pilot for what later became "Schoolhouse Rock" , and created on behalf of General Foods. The song was composed and sung by Bob Dorough. Animation was designed by Tom Yohe, and done at Focus Design, Inc.

[@kevinfitzmaurice4072]

1313 Vine Street was home to an ABC-owned theater in the sixties and seventies. Chuck Barris had his production company offices at that address and taped "The Dating Game" there during its ABC run--32:16. Joey Bishop did his ABC late-night talk show there as well.

What a treat! I haven't seen The Curiosity Shop since I was 7 years old back in 1972! I can't believe how much of it I still remembered, including the "3 is a magic number" segment(which helped with my math skills in 2nd grade!) . Thanks so much for finding and restoring this piece of history.

Best thing from this is the "Curiosity Shop" footage starting at 11:51. It might actually be the pilot and the first time Schoolhouse Rock appeared. Please post full episode w/o logo, so we can enjoy it.

Spencer Michlin wrote the words and Joe Brooks composed the music. It's also very possible that Lesley Miller, Melissa Manchester and Linda November are part of the chorus, although it's not easy in this mix to pick out their voices.

A very rare recording. Apparently no intact episodes exist as ABC wiped them after 1973. Also, it's the only time the two girls in the cast. "Pam" and "Cindy" appear together, as they appeared alternately in the series.

[@thomasferranti6736]

Here here for preservation of the curiosity shop! Thank you!. And I so hope you may find more.

[@tomservo56954]

After 17 seasons, CBS dropped LASSIE, but Jack Wrather continued to make new episodes for syndication, which the NBC O&O stations picked up.

[@jacktayl]

27:48 So this is what the original animation of the "Now the multiples of 3" is like. It shows ducks in a shooting gallery. I wonder if there's a similar thing for My Hero Zero with the line after "But let me tell you about my favorite hero." where it goes "Did you ever stop to think about zero? Zero is fantastic. Why, without the concept of zero, we'd never be able to multiply, divide, add, subtract or even to count very high." before he starts singing. And I wonder why they didn't restore those two moments for later airings and home video releases of the two songs. I suppose they wanted to keep them at exactly 3 minutes. But I think it would be nice to see those two extra animations and the Weather Show song with the "Greatest Show On Earth" mentioning in a blu-ray release of Schoolhouse Rock. Don't you?

[@fullervisiondotnet]

In the case of the cut material in Three... it wasn't quite accurate: because zero is divisible by three, and if you expanded it, there are four numbers divisible by three in 30-39, 60-69, 90-99. It would've been misleading. So I don't blame them for cutting something that would be a potential problem.

[@HandlesAreReallyBad]

I don't think there was an additional scene in My Hero Zero. There's no apparent cuts or space in the animation where the dialogue is supposed to be.

[@80sMetalHead]

This is great. Thanks for the upload!

[@wmbrown6]

The same animated logo as on about 3:56 was also used up to this point in New York by WCBS-2, only with 'CBS/NEW YORK/WCBS-TV' below - and the V/O as "Channel 2, New York."

You don't happen to have a source for Episode 11 of Curiosity Shop, do you? Chuck Jones' Curiosity Shop (1971) Episode 11 "But What's Leonardo da Vinci Flown Lately?" aired the short "Certain Prophecies", A.K.A., "Bizonyos jóslatok" (1967) (1968 in some sources) by Hungarian stop animator Ottó Foky. It's a combination of stop motion and live action where little aliens or alien robots land their tiny UFO on a table in a restaurant right after a dining party has left the table but before the dirty dishes have been cleared away. They explore the table like it's the surface of an alien planet. I've been trying to find this short again since.. well... about 1971!

Were they afraid that some child was watching and might imitate what they saw? It's just a memorable and catchy song 🎵. Anyone who feels that the song was violent, don't have any common sense.

[@elc1960]

Barbour's People looks like it may have been the forerunner to John Barbour's later show Real People. Bernie Kopell plays the husband in the KFC ad. First appearances can be deceiving, but the woman the bachelor picked on that episode of The Dating Game seemed to be extremely vain, a total narcissist. I bet he had a rotten time on their date and wished he'd picked one of the other two women; they seemed like a hell of a lot more fun.

26:12 This is the only known appearance with Three is a Magic Number with the extra verse before the first time they multiply backwards. I think they should restore this moment for a new Blu-Ray release of Schoolhouse Rock and add a new bit of animation for My Hero Zero by Kimmelman Studios with Tom Yohe's designs before they arrive at the phone booth to go along with the extra bit of dialog before Bob started singing, which goes "Did you ever stop to think about zero? Zero is fantastic. Why, without the concept of zero, we'd never be able to multiply, divide, add, subtract or even to count very high." along with the other Multiplication Rock songs, Grammer Rock (including the two new songs after the original seven), America Rock featuring I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College and (as a bonus feature) Presidential Minute with both endings, Science Rock with the Weather Show song (with the Greatest Show on Earth mentioning included) restored and (as a bonus feature) the four songs of Scooter and Mr. Chips, Money Rock and Earth Rock (after The Three R's, I would add one more music video of Taylor Momsen and her band The Pretty Reckless singing the Goodness version of Electricity Electricity their way as sort of a live concert music video) all remastered and restored in high definition on 6 Blu-Ray discs.
