I liked History Rock the best, then Grammar Rock, Science Rock, and finally Multiplication Rock. "I'm Just a Bill" is one of the best songs ever written. I own the four video tapes and the boxed set on cd that was released a couple of years back. How could I guess the man with the Schoolhouse Rock calendar in his cubicle wrote this survey? |

Multiplication Rock followed by Grammar Rock. My favorite multiplicaiton rock ones are The 4-Legged Zoo, and Figure 8. Little twelvetoes is cool (but weird!) also. For Grammar Rock I enjoyed Interjections and, of course, Conjunction JunctionI *loved* these (still do actually, have them on tape!) |

I'm just a bill and conjunction junction. Schoolhouse rock was/is awesome. |

Conjunction Junction, what's your function? |

I remember the grammar ones most of all. The only history one I remember is the "We the People" which helped our entire 8th grade class through that section of history :) You could hear us all humming it during the exam. |

Conjunction Junction is king. |

Grammar with History a close second - the rest aren't as good.
Let me just said that it doesn't bother me at all that my name is linked all over this page.
lisashea, thanks for that postcard by the way. I put it next to the little rubber "I'm just a Bill" dude I have in my office (which another nice person gave to me, I wonder why?)
* dpolicar, yes I know the preamble because of that song. ...and I didn't even realize it until much later. |

I seem to recall that the graphic for 'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' was not aimed at kids. |

I love love love "Electricity Electricity" and especially 3 is the magic number. I reccommend the awesome cd "School House Rock Rocks!" with all the kick ass songs recorded by awesome bands i.e. Better Than Ezra, LL Cool J, and Blind Melon |

Naughty Number Nine, and Verb - that's what's happen'n. Alot of those tunes were written and performed by Bob Dorough, one of my favorite jazz musicians. |

I LOVE SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK!!!! Grammer rock is my favorite. I just love the whole series. Its all soo cute. I like the "Interjection!" song and the "unpack your adjectives" :) |

My favorite video is "Conjuntion Junction". It's not my favorite song, I don't think; I'm currently being very frustrated by the sense that there's a History Rock one that has a song that I like better, but I can't remember what it would be. |

I like several of the grammar ones, so that's what I chose.. I haven't seen many of the others |

Grammar Rock! Interjection, shows excitement, or emotion! History is my second favorite. I like "Sufferin' Until Sufferage". I also like that one where they talk about 'life, liberty...and the pursuit of happiness." During the happiness bit, there's a guy chasing a lady across the room. I get a big kick out of that, mostly because it is so anti-PC. |

I would have to say it is 'Adjectives', but I am fond of Adverbs and several of the other grammar ones. I also like 'Little Twelve Toes'.
I am also annoyed that they left 'The Weather' off the Science rock tape...
*steve: the one where they compare the government to a three ring circus? |

I don't have a favorite by subject-grouping. In each category, there are ones I like more and less. Some of my favorites are the "Eight" song, "Conjunction Junction," "Electricity," and "I'm Just a Bill." steve and I had the interesting experience of watching the History ones with someone who was not a U.S. citizen and the jingoistic nature of those were pretty embarassing. |

Grammar and History compete for different reasons. Grammar has the coolest bits, I think -- Mr. Morton, Rufus Xavier Sasparilla, Lolly..., Conjunction Junction... classics! (By the way, if you haven't checked out the 90s version of Mr. Morton, you should; they redid it as a rap piece and it is *much* better -- and I don't like rap, as a rule.) History Rock is less enjoyable but the most educational of the set, I think... there's something to be said for anything that can painlessly teach an entire generation of kids the preamble to the constitution and that Cornwallis lost at Yorktown. Although "elbow room" is painfully offensive to late 80s-90s sensibilities. hunter -- funny, the one non-US citizen I introduced to SR was far more entranced by it than I ever was...  |

Lucky Seven, followed very closely by the De La Soul version of "Three is a Magic Number" |

I like grammer rock. The "Interjection" song (wow! aw! wee! rats!) is the cutest. Its my favorite. We watched the whole series in english class, and I found it very entertaining. |

I was too drugged out in those days to appreciate or remember Saturday mornings. |

I think I may be too young for this one. I vaguely remember the concept of a schoolhouse rock thing, but can't actually think of ever having seen or heard one of these. |

I think "Interjections!" was probably the most memorable for me, but I didn't watch the show much. |

Love them all! I (and probably most of our age cadre) can quote the preamble to the constitution because of the "We the People" song, I love Conjunction Junction, Little Twelve Toes, and the version of The Tale of Mr. Morton by Skee-lo on the SchoolHouse Rock Rocks cover album. One of Kelly's big favorites is Sufferin' Until Sufferage. |
