Just a Whole Boatload of Schoolhouse Rock

John P.

August 27, 2007 By John P.

Schoolhouse RockI came across one of the Schoolhouse Rock videos and was going to post it for old time’s sake, then I figured that everyone would have a different favorite, so I better post them all. That was also before I remembered how many of them there are!

Anyway, I wasted half the day gathering as many as I could find, so here they are – at least for as long as they last on YouTube. (I sure hope everyone is on a broadband connection!)

EDIT: OK, YouTube was having some serious performance problems and I mistook them for an issue with embedding too many videos in one page. So I removed about half of them using “cut and paste”, then accidentally copied something else and lost all of that work. Damn!

I’ll have to go back and add the others I had found later when I’ve got several hours to spare. But for now here are 9 of my favorites anyway.

How a Bill Becomes a Law

Conjunction Junction


Interjections!

Rufus Xavier Sasparilla

Grammar The Tale Of Mr Morton

Mother Necessity


The Preamble

Elbow Room

Electricity

    GeorgieGirl,

    Well, it took me hours to find them all, but I thought it was worth it because I also enjoyed them as a kid. I believe you can also buy them on DVD now if you want to have a permanent copy, so try Amazon if that is the case.

    Take care,

    John

    OMG, Where in the world did you find all these!!! I grew up watching them. I would love to know where to find them for my grandchildren.

    I just love Schoolhouse Rock – it reminds me of all those Saturday mornings with my brothers watching cartoons! And what a cool way to embed knowledge in a child’s brain, you know? :)

    John, thanks for posting these :)

    My daughter’s in first grade and as she’s gotten older you try to find the things you felt influential in your youth to help pass on.

    Today is definitely a different age with Spongebob, etc. I wouldn’t say things are different at all, since we had uneducational tv in my day, but it did seem a LOT less riddled with ads and marketing =/

    That said, this morning, my daughter sat on my lap and we watched the “How A Bill Becomes A Law” together. Since she was on her way to the bus afterwards, it was rewarding to see her tell all her friends about the vid because it also had a bus :o So thanks :)

    The kids still like Sesame Street, but it’s become less about sesame street and more about Elmo I think. I was asking if my daughter knew who Cookie Monster was and she replied, “Yeah, he’s a character on the Elmo show”.

    I figured that was close enough :)

    Actually today YouTube has problems. Every video they are serving is slow and their site is also running extremely slow. I don’t know what the problem is.

    Wow, that took up a lot of time. Especially on a day when my connection isn’t feeling at its best. Nice ones…. whatever bits I saw.
