If you're a person of a certain vintage and your childhood years were spent plopped in front of the television, then you will no doubt remember "Schoolhouse Rock". These little animated shorts instructed us in important subjects such as grammar, mathematics and U.S. politics. Okay, perhaps that last topic wasn't so pertinent to us Canadian kids, but who can forget those catchy tunes that accompanied the lessons?

It's a great injustice that "Schoolhouse Rocks" is no longer aired on TV, but fortunately you can still find all the animated shorts on DVD. There's a 30th Anniversary edition available through Amazon.com. Yes, it was over thirty years ago (1973 to be exact) when "Schoolhouse Rock" first aired. Scary.

I managed to find one video clip on YouTube.com: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hOaty7FpwMI. You can learn all about pronouns, just in case you need a little grammar reminder.
