Description
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? In the 70's and 80's, the catchy Schoolhouse Rock tunes taught millions of children the fundamentals of math, grammar, science, history and money. Relive the pop culture sensation with the SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK SPECIAL 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION DVD, which includes every song from the landmark series in a collectible 2-disc DVD. Among the over 50 tunes are such classics as "Conjunction Junction," "Three is a Magic Number," "I'm Just A Bill" and "Electricity, Electricity." The DVD features an all-new song about the Electoral College, "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote To College" written by the show's original creators.

It's a good bet that any American kid growing up in the '70s or '80s learned some elementary lesson from the seminal musical series Schoolhouse Rock!. Airing from 1973 to 1984 (and often revived), the ABC Saturday morning shorts effortlessly introduced kids to grammar, science, multiplication, money, and American history--three minutes at a time. In one smart, comprehensive 2-disc set, all 46 songs and plenty of extras are collected. The four creators developed the series slowly, a welcome diversion from their advertising agency jobs, and ended up taking home four Emmys over the years. The background material includes 10 audio commentaries and a making-of feature for the new song, "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College." The DVD subtitle option is a great bonus for those who need to know every word from such favorites as "Three Is a Magic Number," "Interjections," "I'm Just a Bill," and "Conjunction Junction." (Ages 3 and older) --Doug Thomas

Timeless gift! November 30, 2008
Schoolhouse Rock! is just what every family with small children needs to balance out the learning at home (or in the car!). I bought several as Christmas gifts, for young and old, as the compilation is as timeless as the art of getting a child to learn what otherwise could be construed as mundane or rote memorization information. My siblings will appreciate the nostalgia, and I believe my nephews will benefit greatly from what I used to see on Saturdays, between all the "cool" shows!
Entertaining and Educational November 23, 2008
I was elated to be able to purchase this DVD edition. As a young child, these were on Saturday mornings between cartoons. What a shame they have not continued to air these educational clips! Learning will take place without the child even knowing it.
School House Rock November 17, 2008
my little one has a hard time memorizing some things for school
but she loves to sing so this really helped her
Schoolhouse Rock Rocks! November 16, 2008
This brought back a lot of fond memories of "watching the commercials" in between the cartoons on Saturday morning. Anyone over 40 should definitely remember them. I plan on showing them to my grand kids so I can be sure that in today's lackluster education system they will at least have learned AND RETAINED something beneficial.
 great for use in the classroom November 5, 2008
I have found that there is much to be valuable with my third graders. Music is a great medium to anchor learning. Some of the music is "dated" but the kids still love it.
