Man, I love that song. And boy does listening to it again on this 30th Anniversary DVD brings the memories back. (Ya know, 1973 to 2002 isn't quite 30 years, but who's counting? Er, counting? Wait a sec...) . As you might expect, this long-anticipated two-disc DVD set includes all 46 original songs made for ABC's Schoolhouse Rock! For the uninitiated, Schoolhouse Rock! was not quite a TV show, not quite a commercial. I was all of two years old when it got started, and frankly I'm not quite sure what these music videos were all about, when they were aired, or why....read the full review   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Buena Vista (Disney) Release Date: 7/5/2005 Running Time: 283 minutes Original Release Date: 1973 Catalog ID: 23048 UPC: 00786936157826 Number of Discs: 2 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English Video: Color Aspect Ratio 4:3   Cast & Crew David B.

This is one of my kids favorite DVD's and I remember it when I was growing up. My 11 year old says it has helped her in math and english.

The Schoolhouse Rock mini-toons are great. These should run during kids shows today - a lot of learning might take place. I have two elementary-age kids and they love these.

To this day, whenever I count by three's I see football players coming out of an archway. I know the preamble but I can't say it... I have to sing it. My three year old daughter can count to thirty by three's an 100 by fives from watching these. As a child, I would get up early on Satuday mornings to watch these and now my children excitedly take their baths so they can watch Schoolhouse Rock before bedtime. These are timeless classics that teach by fun.

This is a great collection. My husband and I grew up with this and now my 3 & 6 year-olds LOVE watching it. And I love the fact that they learn (conjuction junction, what's your function?) A must have.
