Featuring anadditional catchy animated song by the original series’ creators, the 30thAnniversary Edition DVD rocks your house. It’s a good bet that anyAmerican kid growing up in the ’70s or ’80s learned some elementary lessonfrom the seminal musical series Schoolhouse Rock!. Airing from 1973 to 1984(and often revived), the ABC Saturday morning shorts effortlessly introducedkids to grammar, science, multiplication, money, and American history–threeminutes at a time. In one smart, comprehensive 2-disc set, all 46 songs andplenty of extras are collected.
