  Updated%20for%20a%20new%20generation

• He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear!

• Such a great memory. Saturday mornings at it's best...

• It wasn't adjectives. It was In Ter Jec Tions!!!

  Hey%21%20You%27re%20kinda%20cute%21

• r4 I think most of us of a certain age know the preamble because of that. Those bits were so subversively great. They made you learn stuff and you didn't even realize it. The only one i didn't like was the guy who sang #5. He seemed a little creepy. Hanging around all those little kids. hmmm.

• Joan Rivers narrated Letterman! He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear, We beat a hssty retreat from his lair then we unpacked our adjectives! Of course being named Bill, "I'm Just a Bill" holds a special place in my heart.

• I think Schoolhouse Rock was first and then came American Rock which was more history oriented. "Mother Necessity, what do you need..." "The great American melting pot..."

• The original series was "Multiplication Rock." "Grammar Rock" followed soon after, then "America Rock" for the Bicentennial. Later, those series and the subsequent ones were all presented under the generic "Schoolhouse Rock" banner.
