There are similar modern versions for young children now. Or at least there was in the years after 2006 when my daughter was born. Of course my favorite was Yo Gabba Gabba because it reminded me very much of the 70's/80's stuff I saw as a kid, and featured cool Gen X'ers in guest appearances. 😀🥰

Having been born in 1967 and grew up watching these as a kid I learned more that way than I did in classes. Every Saturday and Sunday morning when the cartoons came on they would show a School House Rock short and then the cartoon and even have them as commercials in between the cartoons.

I'm Gen X and grew up with these between the Saturday morning cartoons. I made sure I bought the VHS tapes of these and then bought it again when it came out on DVD so my future kids could see them too. When I did have kids, I made sure they watched them and that is how they learned their multiplication tables. School House Rock is the best!

I wish they would have show adverbs. Lolly, Lolly, Lolly get your adverbs here... I passed a test in English once because whenever we got stuck someone would hum the Schoolhouse Rocks song for it. I started it by humming Conjunction Junction. We were all tapping our pens trying to remember, I hummed, we all started writing. We started tapping our pens again, and someone else hummed, we all started writing. An entire class passed the English test, thanks to Schoolhouse Rocks. It was 1981, we had grown up watching these commercials during cartoons every Saturday. Those commercials graduated us from school. It was a success. Thank you to everyone who helped make those. I still hum those once in awhile, over 50 years ago is when I learned those songs. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30...

Scientists, educators, and people in general have known for at least one hundred years and probably longer that people, especially kids, remember music and lyrics very easily and when you create a song that has educational information as the lyrics and the song is catchy, people learn and remember that song and the information more often than straight teaching from a book or a chalkboard. That's why Schoolhouse Rock works and has stuck in the minds of so many generations. Schoolhouse Rock was brand new when I was a kid in the 1970s and it was so cool. I couldn't wait for new episodes to play on TV. They played after school hours and on Saturday mornings, when kids were likely watching TV. Back then we only had about 6 it 7 channels that we could choose from and most of those were not kid friendly channels. So, we really only had a few hours a day on maybe 2 or 3 channels to watch kids shows. A lot different then now

As GenX, I watched these as a young kid. As I got a little older, I switched to shows like The Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact (those would make a fun reaction video), then on to Nova, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, and The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. I wasn't impressed with most of my daughter's options, but I have to give credit to the Animaniacs states and countries songs. Anyways, just to make a quick correction, Venus is terrestrial. It's not a gas giant, but the atmosphere does get all the attention, so the thought makes some sense.

My favorite thing on Saturdays, because in the ancient times of my youth that was the only time you could watch cartoons. There was no cable or viewing on demand, you watched what they showed when they showed it, no choice, but were happy to have what you got. We now have a society of “give me more just because “. I don’t think kids today are dumb by no means, but so much is pushed at them so fast that they never slow down enough to absorb much of it before moving on to the next thing.

When I was in 8th grade, we had a test, where we had to write out the Preamble of the Constitution. We all got to the question at around the same time, because all of a sudden, almost the entire class started to sing under our breath, 🎵 “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union…” 🎵. Our teacher heard us, and said, “Oh my God! Are you all singing that song from School House, Rock?” Yes! Yes, we were! We all passed that question with flying colors! 😂

I loved growing up with Schoolhouse Rock. I always appreciated the "12 Little Twelvetoes". It didn't have the catchiest tune but it introduced base 12 numbers. It also introduced some speculation on how our physiology (having 10 fingers) affected our development of mathematics. As a kid I was fascinated by how a change in our base physiology could affect our cultural & scientific development.

I watched these at the end of cartoons on Saturday mornings when they originally came out. I never thought of "Figure 8" as creepy. The melody of the song was mysterious and haunting, but not scary or creepy.

I swear I learned more from Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact, Mr. Rogers and Schoolhouse Rock than I did in the first 5 years of school.

@tmapes1989 12 дней назад

That was the idea!!! Those shows, especially Sesame Street, were created for inner-city kids!!! Sesame Street was created, because most inner-city kids did not have pre-school like the suburbs!!! The inner-city kids were behind when they started bussing kids to better neighborhoods fior school and this was to help them be ready for kindergarten!!!

Grew up with these….. then in college they played these one night each year during Animation festival week. Picture a movie theatre at Midnight full of 18-25 years olds all singing along to these for a couple hours as they played them.

Show these kids The Electric Company next. God, I loved educational TV as a kid! Oh yea, the one kid wanted a rock version of I'm Just a Bill. The album Schoolhouse Rock Rocks has covers of these songs.

School House Rock is where a lot of Gen X learned the Preamble to the Constitution. I was in more than one class where we had to repeat it from memory. My teachers always had a rule that you weren't allowed to sing it.

@gheller2261 11 дней назад

My wife and I are Gen Xers who grew up in the 70s. By the time each was 3 our daughters knew all the songs. There was nothing better than being kids in the 70s and teenagers in the 80s.

School House Rock is awesome, I remember when they came out, I'd be sitting in front of the TV every Saturday morning to see what one they would open with each week. They helped me a lot with my multiplication growing up my favorite one is still Lucky Seven Samson but there were so many good ones. When my daughter was born I bought a CD that had them on it so she could enjoy them as I did as a kid.

@richardjackson3524 10 дней назад

Brings back memories of waking up saturday mornings, turning on the T.V. , fixing a bowl of Coco Puffs and watching the Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner Show and School House Rock, while literally being 3 feet away from the T.V. screen wearing my pajamas with the footie things attached to them.

I'm 26. When my parents were kids, they would watch Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings, specifically during shows like Scooby Doo. They bought me the DVD release of the entire series to teach me multiplication, and I loved it so much I watched the other shorts. I guess you could say it was my Cocomelon.

Every Saturday morning before cartoons I grew up watching schoolhouse rock. when I found the dvd of it I bought it and I had my kids watch it. If your brain can remember more information when put with music and pictures. it made my school days a little easier, not that i did good in school I struggled with math and english.
