Re: America Rock
I cannot recite the Preamble to the Constitution, but I CAN sing it thanks to Schoolhouse Rock. My daughter grumbles, "Stop it, Mom," every time I start. It's a GREAT way to embarrass your kids. A few years back I found all the Rock videos on CD. I also love Grammar Rock (Conjunction Junction, what's your function?) and Math Rock (Figure Eight).

Absolutely! I can sing several of them and they really did help. Do they show these anymore? Judging by this age of political correctness, I doubt it. Also, I just checked on Wikipedia and found this little nugget:
"A new series entitled 'Schoolhouse Rock! Earth' was created by the original production team, premiered in 2009, and featured eleven environmentally-themed songs."
Surprise, surprise.
