Admit it: if it weren't for Schoolhouse Rock, you probably couldn't recite the preamble to the Constitution, and you might be fuzzy on the function of conjunctions, too. All the more reason to cue up the 30th-anniversary video, which culls 25 fan-selected favorites ("I'm Just a Bill," "My Hero Zero") plus a new, informative and wacky Electoral College number. The countdown, kind of like Casey Kasem's of the same era, reaches out to old-school Schoolhouse Rockers with instant recognizability (number 25 is the frontier-busting "Elbow Room"), but better yet, the science, math, grammar, and history bits burst through the decades dust bunny-free--verbs are still happening, and Interplanet Janet's intergalactic gusto still seems groovy. Turn it off halfway though and a flurry of interjections from a new flock of 4- to 10-year-olds may fly. --Tammy La Gorce

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - School House Rock - 30th Anniversary
My children grew up with school house rock. Contains all the school house rock CLASSICS. At work people keep wondering why I say that "My name is Bill" - or they start singing with me! Highly recommended!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun and Educational!!!!!
I can remember watching these "commercials" on Saturday morning when I was a child. I actually learned a lot off of these songs! Sometimes more than I learned in school.

Today, my children love listening to this. Singing along to the music is a great way to learn English grammar, math, social studied and more!! FUN!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Stuff
I am 39 , and I grew up with SHR every Saturday Morning. There are some great ones on this tape, but If you are like me, you wanted more, so I go the DVD set. All in all, I would recommend the complete dvd set, but if you only want a good taste of SHR, then get this tape. You cant go wrong either way. Hey, its SHR.

And for those uptite, people, and history buffs, who are griping about how SHR is not all that accurate on their segments, I say this, SHR was never meant to be that aaccurate. ... Read More

I bought this several years ago for my sister at Christmas, and heard it was fine. But just reading the list of videos that are on this tape, I see them flash right before my eyes. Therefore, I feel perfectly qualified to review this product for you. I don't quite know what I would have done without Schoolhouse Rock. Well, maybe not Grammar Rock, although those were some of my favorites ("Conjunction Junction, what's your function?"). But I know that when I come up against a problem in my adult life ...
