I credit the series for their fascination with science. Now I wish these were available when I was a child!

Last weekend I rented the Schoolhouse Rock DVD and watched the animations I grew up with (37 year old Gen-Xer) every saturday morning. I can honestly say that I both laughed and cried (literally) with delight and emotion watching those old jewels. It was VERY moving for me. It was also so interesting to pick up on more adult (or simply more advanced) themes and lyrics that I missed as a kid. The optimism and sincerity that came across, along with the genius lyrics, playfull melodies, and simple but clever animation, made for such a contrast with these past few years (in political terms). "Three is a magic number" in particular, just breathes so much of the hope of the early 70s. Loved watching it again, with so much nostalgia and fondness. I was happy to see this post.
