It dawned on me this weekend when talking to my friend that people under the age of 30 may have no concept of what School House Rock
“You know School House Rock! — “I’m just a Bill, yes I’m only a Bill, sittin’ here on Capitol Hill”….
*crickets chirping*
I’m on it. I got the kids watchin’ and singin’.
Hmm … I guess you will have to get some rapper , New York ( Tiffany) and have Bill eating chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side; while dancing on the stairs of congress with the Pussycat Dolls to hold these kids attention today. The networks should bring them back. ..I hope and pray that they will…Conjunction Junction was my favorite!!!
26 year old here and I’m familiar with the Schoolhouse. My 10 year old sister is pretty familiar too. Schoolhouse Rocks is just one of those things that is timeless. Take heart, it will always be there.
same as tweezy, i’m 26 and i know schoolhouse rock.
I’m 58 and now I’m depressed.
Children. (sigh!) Guess they don’t know about Dr. Shrinker either. That’s just sad…
OMG, you went back on me with that one! I can hear the song now! special effects on a shoestring budget. ken dolls as body doubles…there HAS to be a DVD set coming out soon.
RIP Billy Barty!
and you might as well throw in Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. i’m kinda hazy on if they actually had powers or were a broke female version of Batman and Robin
Man, that takes me back! *singing* Conjunction junction…what’s your function? That was my fav….
Don’t feel bad. Last year I discovered my first graders had never heard of the smurfs…childhood just ain’t what it used to be….
*feelin’ sorry for the youngins…*many don’t know the joys of recess without teacher supervision either…
I’m 24… and I know exactly what Schoolhouse Rock is… actually caught it on TV about a month ago (Though I did feel a wee bit bad for focusing that much attention on it LOL)
Yeah, love it too. I even own the video…not DVD. Sad isn’t it? I will be passing it on to my nephews. They will probably be bored too.
