[@DJRainbowYT]

I gotta give you the teacher perspective. As an ESL kid these shows/books like the magic school bus helped me so much keep up with the curriculum while being at a disadvantage due to a language barrier. It kept the curiosity alive and made me want to do more research. Fast forward and I’m a 5th grade teacher and I still show these episodes to my students. They’re timeless and have a charm that is unknown to the new generation but still find new things to love about it. This, Brain Pop, and Bill Nye are constant plays in my classroom because I know that me reading off a textbook isn’t enough for some students, but these videos are the visual seeds that foster child curiosity.

90s kid here, we got the TV being wheeled in the early 90s to watch this show along with Reading Rainbow and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Legitimately get a little emotional watching this because I absolutely loved the show growing up and those 3 shows in general hold such a special place in my heart. They also are a little sad for me to think about given how much better life was back then so it does hurt a little going back and watching some of these shows thinking of my childhood. All 3 were brilliant shows and I'm glad I grew up when they were huge. Another informative show I watched was Captain Planet, a lot more actiony than the first 3 shows mentioned but there were a lot of life lessons to be learned from it and the opening theme is fucking amazing, still to this day it's one of my favorite cartoon themes ever.

There was a gentleman there asking visitors from a case of small cut gems which one was the most expensive. Not only did I immediately point out the emerald, but I started spouting off facts I learned from the games. He told us that usually people pick the nice bright shiny rock which was really a piece of polished soda bottle, and my parents recall how happy that man was when a small child knew so much. Also shout out to the gem room in NYC's museum of natural history, I loved that place.

the magic school bus is impo the best edu-tainment show of its time. theres shows that i watched as a kid and look back on fondly, but magic school bus by far has the best memories for me. i think whats special about it is, while watching it you very forget its educational, once they get out on a "field trip" its so entertaining and well done that you kinda forget its trying to make you learn stuff but your brains still taking it in. like i genuinely feel the magic school bus was why i was so into science and learning as a kid, but as i grew up and got forced more and more into that "typical" style of learning where even finding fun educational youtube videos on class topics was seen as bad by teachers i lost that joy.

I grew up with the original Magic School Bus books, and still have them today. When the cartoon came out, our family was living in a small town in Alaska where we didn’t get any TV channels that carried it. So our grandparents in California would tape a bunch of episodes and mail us the videocassettes. I still have those as well. The local library did have the old Magic School Bus computer games, and I spent hours with those. My younger brother has four kids, and I bought them the DVD box set so the tradition can continue. I also definitely had some Ms. Frizzle-like teachers. One in particular actually had crazy red hair, in fact. She was very much about hands-on science learning. We made life-sized anatomy models, built and launched model rockets, made clouds in the classroom, and at one point she even arranged to have a helicopter come land in the playground so we could check it out in person. I really struggled with ADD as a kid, and at this point in time (and especially for a tiny church school in Alaska) it wasn’t very well-understood or taken into account. She worked super hard to keep me engaged and accountable, and mostly succeeded.

The real problem is you don't get much bang for your buck with low teacher salaries in a country without a comfy social safety net. You can spend less per student when your teacher is better off and able to concentrate on class, not working a second job.

It really played an important role in getting me interested in wildlife (which I had little exposure to since I live in a hypermetropolis), and I would just go to the library and read any book I could find about those animals. When our school decided to be early adopters of computers, we used to play the rainforest point and click episode of MSB, Amazon Trail, and Odell Down Under, so I just loved the idea of going to the tropics and learning more about wildlife and doing conservation. I am happy to report that is my job now as a research biologist and I do get to do these things all the time now! I did watch the new series and the biggest issues I had with it were: 1) the flat animation style they now use and 2) the kids are not very distinct enough from one another. I understand the new style is probably cheaper to produce but the more limited movement they are using really reduces some of the original whimsicality of the Bus and it makes the landscape that the characters occupy feel less complete and real. The voice acting from Kate McKinnon is fine, but I think they needed to get more experienced actors to play the kids because they sound do not emote enough to be unique characters who are impacted specifically by that day's field trip in some way and give them some character development too. It made the kids seem flat as characters and it focuses the series too much then on Ms. Frizzle, and I think that is just working against the purpose of the show in terms of drawing kids in. I get that they casted real kids for this, but they just do not have enough experience to make these characters pop in the same way the old show did so the show fell rather flat to me.

I remember watching "The Magic School Bus." I had the PC games, and the books. :)

Just wanted to say this video unlocked a memory for me. I love the videos, keep up the great work

[@JordanFringe94]

Hey, thank you so much!

[@alyssaashford5218]

Oh I remember the magic school bus. I remember Ms. Frizzle being the most charming menace to ever hold the child endangerment charges ever.

[@FoxoFlame]

Love the magic school bus and Bill Nye growing up through elemantry/middle school, my favorite episodes of the series were, the digestion system, muscles and joints and how volcano's are made. Miss Frizzle the best at what she does 😅

When I was an ESL teacher in Taiwan, I got my students ADDICTED to this show, even the classes where the students had very limited English. That shows how well the messages were shown. One class in particular would chant “school bus, school bus” not gonna lie, I caved in a few times with that class because I lowkey wanted to watch it too 😅 It was very nostalgic

[@jemofthe80s18]

Heck YEAH, I do! My favorite episodes were when Arnold took his helmet off on Pluto and when they went inside Arnold when he swallowed the gum:):) My family HAD a bunch of the books with the red covers, and I always loved the notebook papers with the notes on the pages. I liked the diversity of the kids and how there were pairs of them like that. Berleezy did a hilarious video about the theme song;)

[@Lovehandels]

I love this show! I hope all the kids of today find the new one just as awesome as the old one I grew up with.

[@redrockbluerock]

We had a good portion of the episodes on VHS when I was a kid- I remember when I'd stay home from school sick, I'd marathon them. I still have them, though I don't have anything that can play VHS anymore.

As a parent and former educator the magic school bus rides again was perfect. It hit every note it needed to there was 0 need for it to not have more episodes. Its just as fun and informative with updated information and technology.

[@erinlizzie09]

As a homeschooled kid, I read and watched all the time! It helped me learn alot easier with things like pollination and precipitation ect.

[@TheCartmanforprez]

I grew up watching the magic school bus and bill Nye the Science guy and they influenced me a lot growing up. I loved showing my kids the magic school bus! A while back they had both the old and new series on Netflix and the kids and I loved watching them together

This might sound bizzare, but I have beef with Mrs.Frizzle. I had a dream one time that my mom and I were at a theme park that Mrs.Frizzle made. She hated me specifically for some reason, and created the rides to mess with me and only me. The tea cups threw me around and poured syrup on me, there was a physically impossible roller coaster that attacked me, and a few other rides. The rides would only mess with me when my mom wasn't looking, but she eventually found out and screamed at Mrs.Frizzle before we left the theme park. So now I get angry Mrs.Frizzle because it reminds me of the dream lol.

[@DisillusionedMillennial]

Wow, core memory unlocked! I use to have that book! I would read it over and over, pretty sure before I could read but I would imagine experiencing everything with the students.😂 Thanks for reminding me my guy. I'm 40 now, getting old sucks 😢

[@florecitarokera12]

I have a tattoo in my ancle about the game of the magic school bus goes to space, I loved that game so deeply it has forever changed me as a person, and of course I love the show with y whole heart

[@megasceptile001]

this show was a huge part of my childhood since 2011 and has been my longest running special interest since 2014-ish 😭 like i have every line of almost every episode of the 90s series, the reboot, and the four specials memorized 😭

[@Nightstriker995]

I remember this show, it billnye, and reading rainbow were often played in my classroom at least once a week. always enjoyed them.I also remember the cd-rom games it had and the books too was always happy when they let us watch this series.

[@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112]

Same here. For me, they’d play Magic School Bus, Bill Nye, Grossology or Kenny the Shark.
