    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. 😀🥰

    I'm OVER 55 (*sigh) but I grew up on these: they played BETWEEN other Saturday morning cartoons. For us 70s and 80s, GenX-ers, this was COMMON KNOWLEDGE for anyone who had a TV. I still remember the words nearly verbatim. That's how often these were on and how determined the networks were determined to shove info into our brains. The creators came to my college to do a presentation, the audience was FILLED, and EVERYONE knew the songs based off of just the first notes played on the piano. It was a beautiful, shared experience. I got the DVD and played it for my kids as they grew up. Schoolhouse Rock was created by trained, dedicated, LOVING educators, psychologists and artists, so why not continue to utilize all that effort?

Sesame Street, Electric Company, Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers. The guy who drew pictures to illustrate the story he was narrating… I’m so grateful I was a little kid back then.

    For those playing at home, a broad definition of Generation X ... "you don't remember seeing the Vietnam War live on TV, but you did experience the 1990s as an adult" Sidebar: pop culture is finally starting to acknowledge that "Baby Boomer" was always too broad of a term. Those who have no memory of WWII -- but adult memories of Vietnam -- are "true" Boomers. Those who only remember Vietnam on TV as a child are "Generation Jones" (the characters on "That 70s Show" or in "Dazed and Confused"). Gen X is Gen J with more prosperous parents.

    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!

Dang if he didn’t end up with every student singing the preamble and rocking to the song. 😂 I’m sure he was impressed and astonished. 😂

    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.

That being said, there needs to be a sequel with all of the same teens. There are plenty of other shorts to show; in Grammar Rock, there's Unpack Your Adjectives and Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here, Multiplication Rock has Ready or Not Here I Come (multiplying by 5s), America Rock has The Great American Melting Pot and (my personal favorite) Suffering Until Sufferage. That's just scratching the surface.
