I can't remember the show it was on,but it went something like this,teaching how a bill becomes a law.I haven't got this little jingle out of my head for decades:

Bill (singing): "I hope and pray that I will,but today I am still,just a bill

Toon Host: "Congratulationd bill,your a law!!!"

Celebration ensues on the steps of the house of reps.

This shit drives me crazy sometimes.

HR Puffinstuff was kinda wierd,like a show where everybody was stoned and a freaky looking witch.

We have HR Puffinstuff on DVD.....

I'm just a bill is from school house rocks

Conjunction junction what's your function!

I used to love School House Rock. Womens rights, English grammar, and Government all wrapped around saturday morning cartoons!

If ARFcomers made "School House Rock" -

Gunnery Seargent Hartman: Conjunction junction what's your malfunction, numb nuts?!!?!"

IIRC, PBS had an intended developmental order for these shows.

You started with Mr. Rogers. Once you had some grasp of English, you moved on to Sesame Street and learned numbers and letters.

Once you learned numbers and letters, you went to The Electric Company and learned some reading (and I think a little arithmetic). By then, grade school has you sort of interested in the world, and you'd start watching 3-2-1 Contact.

That's what I heard, anyway.

The Bloodhound Gang was always good, too.

Rita Moreno was on the Electric Company. She's like - 80 or something now, pretty hot back then.

I got a gig on Romper Room when I was five!

That was fromABC's School House Rock series. It was called "I'm Just A Bill." School Houes Rock was on every saturday morning.

It's school house rocky, just a chip off the block

Very strange.......

Read this thread and two days later Grandpa sent my daughter the Electric Company boxed set.

10.5 hours. I think my daughter is gonna watch it all in one sitting.
Now someone needs to start a "Rember when AR's were $250" thread......Maybe one will arrive in the mail.

My 3rd grade teacher had a TV in the classroom and we watched it everyday.

It was a lot cooler to watch that for a while than to listen to the teacher.
