I remember when these were first reissued, at least the videos…. My friend (7 or 8 year younger than I am – he hadn’t really sen them) and I were in a huge media superstore, and they were playing them on the monitor. I was watching “Figure Eight” and my friend, finished with his shopping, came up to me and said “Why are you crying?”

I hadn’t noticed that I was, but there was something very wonderful about seeing it again, always thinking it was a forgotten footnote of my childhood. It’s wonderful to know that I’m not alone and that these are still pertinent enough to still be teaching kids something all these years later. I don’t know if it’s the chords or the little daydreaming girl, but “Figure Eight” still moves me to tears every time I see or hear it now. It’s nice to know we don’t have to let everything go as we grow older. We’re so lucky to have recorded media as part of our culture. So much of it is awful, but there are priceless gems mixed in. Schoolhouse Rock is one of them.

I LOVE THIS CD. However, this is completely ridiculous that there is such a market for this cd and they won’t release it again. FIGHT BACK! Refuse to pay this. I’ll tell you how to make your own–I bought the DVD set and there are programs on the internet that enable you to get the music off of DVDs. It was easy. DO IT YOURSELF!

i grew up watching schoolhouse rock reruns on abc. i will never forget how much i enjoyed them. i love the songs and they are so catchy that kids don’t even realize they’re learning. i highly recommend this cd for children in 1st to 5th grade. this cd has my favorite schoolhouse rock song of all times LITTLE TWELVETOES witch is why i purchased it in the first place. i am totaly satisfied with it. i hope you will love it as much as i do[...]

i love this stuff, and my kids do too. genuinely good songs played and sung well. one nitpick: why is ‘my hero zero’ in the middle, instead of at the top? don’t make no sense in the middle.

but who cares? buy this cd.

The math disc is very useful for children’s education.
Also, I just found exactly what I was looking for – a disc called *Scripture* Rock.
The spiritual learning with the general skills is a powerful combination.
