I purchased this DVD late last year for my wife, who is a 6th Grade Language Arts teacher. As useful as it has been for her in her classroom as a teaching aid, I think I've enjoyed it even more watching it with my own kids. As a child of the 1970's, I grew up eating breakfast cereal in front of the TV on Saturday mornings and Schoolhouse Rock was a big part of that experience. The catchy tunes are just as contagious now as they were then and all of the great classics are here - "Conjunction Junction", "I'm Just a Bill", "Mr. Morton", and way too many others to name. There are around fifty in all, including Grammar Rock, Multiplication Rock, Money Rock, Science Rock, and America Rock, all organized by genre and with a robust menuing system that allows playing back individual songs, all songs by genre, or the entire collection. They're all here. Also included is a new Grammar Rock song not previously released as well as an entire second disc of bonus materials. If you loved Grammar Rock as a kid, you likely will find that it is just as enjoyable today, evoking fond childhood memories long-forgotten. This is a classic is a must-have for my DVD collection.

I purchased this for my daughter while she was a college student majoring in elementary education. She is now teaching and uses it regularly. The kids think it's great and sing along as they learn. I'm just a Bill, Electricity... all are just great. The bonus dvd is wonderful as well. I recommend to anyone with young children to begin their early childhood development through song.

I purchase this for my daughter who is a 4 Th grade school teacher; she is going to use this in her class to help the children with memorizing multiplication facts. We watched it before we gave it to her and still new most of the words to a lot of the songs from when we were kids.

Great content but some poor quality due to age of original products, I suppose.
