Summary: Schoolhouse Rock! - Special 30th Anniversary Edition
Review: As a child of the 70's, Schoolhouse Rock was as much of a Saturday morning tradition as pajamas, cartoons, and cereal. Now, as a fourth grade teacher, I have rediscovered the value of these timeless cartoons. What was once simple entertainment wedged between The Wonder League and various other ABC cartoons is now a valuable educational tool!Each year my students learn and memorize the Preamble to the Constitution thanks to Schoolhouse Rock. And how interesting would the American Revolution be without No More Kings, Fireworks, or The Shot Heard 'Round the World? From a fourth grader's perspective, NOT VERY! This DVD is a must have for students, teachers, and parents. This fun, entertaining quick review of these necessary skills is a great way to learn with your kids/students. After all, how else would we know that a conjunction's purpose is, "Hooking up words and phrases and clauses"?

Summary: Great for kids of all ages
Review: As a child of the eighties, I just had to have this set. It is such a great dose of education made fun. To this day, I know important facts like the preamble to the consitution and that a noun "is a person, place, or thing" all thanks to Schoolhouse Rock. This set includes all of the tunes you remember(Conjunction Junction), some you may recall(the Mr Chips series), and one brand new lesson to Rock the Schoolhouse. There's also some neat extras including - of all things - a Nike commercial that embraced the SR-bunch. What a great way to get my son off on the right educational foot. My wife and I love it... Nostalgia for us, a solid foundation for him as he grows. Much thanks to Lolly and all the gang.

Summary: Thank goodness!!!
Review: As a teacher, I LIKE the jukebox format. These songs are absolutely wonderful for today's kids too. Since the state tests are about to be given in my state, I am planning on having this constantly running. Kids today can memorize Conjunction Junction along with the latest Beyonce song! 2/2005 update - Folks, this one has my school kids actually memorizing their times tables!!! Grab this one now!

Summary: Re-live your childhood!!!
Review: As some of my other reviews state, there are many shows that I loved a s a kid and when I watch them now I wonder what I saw in them. This is not one of those shows. This is still as entertaining as it was when I watched it as a kid. Sure, there are some songs not worth watching, but the good ones make up for it. And the DVD is GREAT!!! It is LOADES with special features, the best being the random play mode, which plays EVERY SONG IN RANDOM ORDER!!! Plus some commentary on select songs, a trivia contest, and a bunch more stuff. There is so much stuff it took me like 5 days to finally watych everything. THIS IS WHAT A DVD SHOULD BE!!! I cant wait to have kids of my own and show them this DVD, so I can enjoy it with them!!! DEFINITALY WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Summary: Still amazing after all these years!
Review: Back in the 70s, I learned a lot about grammar, math and the Constitution from these short cartoons. Watching them again after 30 years, they are compact and entertaining miracles, combining catchy tunes with a surprisingly large amount of information. I plan to give a number of these as Christmas gifts to people with children. Leave your kids in front of the TV with this DVD, and they will likely surprise you with how fast they pick this stuff up.

Summary: I LOVED this DVD!
Review: Before I got this DVD, I had seen about 6 or 7 Schoolhouse Rock segments. Now I've seen them all. Even though the lessons were made for younger kids, I even learned some things from the videos. The songs stick in your head for days after watching them, making them a great tool for memorizing things for school in a fun way. The extras are also great, including a brand new song created just for the DVD, about the voting process and the Electoral College. This DVD is good clean fun for the whole family.

Summary: How Can You Not Buy This DVD?
Review: Ever get a song stuck in your head? Almost every one of these songs stay with you (they were designed that way!). Your kids will love it, it is educational, it is healthy, and it is funny! My only complaint is that song is still stuck in my head..."Conjunction junction, what's your function...."

Summary: My kids love Schoolhouse Rock and Scripture Rock
Review: First I got the video but then I saw this disc and got a DVD player and the DVD is much better!
My kids love the tape and the DVD. I'm amazed at how these songs hold up year after year. - Conjunction Junction, I'm Just A Bill- those are the best but the others are good too.
I got this for them and noticed that the made a Schoolhouse Rock for Bible called Scripture Rock and my kids love both Schoolhouse Rock and Scripture Rock.

Summary: Tears of Joy!
Review: For years I could never get the SHR tunes I grew up with out of my head. When I discovered that the entire collection had been released, I told my wife that I wanted to get it for our two sons. (In truth, it was as much if not more for me than for them!) Being the sentimental fool that I am, I sat up for three hours after everyone had gone to bed and watched every single one of them. Hearing the tunes that helped define my childhood literally brought tears to my eyes. It took me straight back to those Saturday mornings in the late 70 in front of the television, the smell of breakfast coming from the kitchen....sorry, got carried away! If SHR was any of those things to you, this is a must have!
