Der Zauberschulbus

I think this show is both educational and entertaining. My kids (ages 2 to 7) LOVE the show and the books. Its 52 episodes now run at 6:30 a.m. ET weekdays on The Learning Channel. Because it is wholesome and beneficial, it is one of the few shows I let them watch on TV. I like the guest-star voices (Dolly Parton) and the way Ms. Frizzle's dress changes according to the theme of the day. The show is a great way to introduce children to science concepts at a young age, as it easily holds their attention the entire time and inspires their imagination. It is refreshing to see that a children's show these days can get by without violence and mean-spiritedness while also teaching the values of friendship, curiosity and persistence.

This is a highly entertaining science series. This show has the highest artistic production values. It is as entertaining as any children's show. But unlike any other children's show, it actually imparts solid correct scientific information. Any child who has an interest in how the world really works will love this series. My children and their friends are delighted with these shows. They ask me to get more. I am a professional scientist, who has 25 years experience. I watch them looking for "dumbing down" or for factual mistakes. I have never seen either. This is the series to get to start your child on their way to understanding the world about them.

when i was growing up i learned all i know about science from the magic school bus and bill nye the science guy. this show was great. it had cute plots, good information, and fun characters. i wish it was still on. i give it a 10/10!

I remember watching this show all the time as a kid, and even in current times it's something I would highly recommend to any parent or teacher for their child, or students to watch. It's a creative take on educational purposes that actually pull the child into what's going on. It keeps them actively engaged and is quite amusing to watch as well. The show is really a play off of imagination, which is one of the most creative ways to teach a child every aspect they need to know. It is healthy for brain growth and more.

My daughter saw me scrolling through IMDb and told me to click on "that one" as I was on my way through, so here I am! Thumbs up for The Magic Schoolbus.

'The Magic School Bus' is another one of those shows watched regularly as a kid but forgotten about for a while during teenagehood. Reliving all the fond memories over-time as a young adult re-watching various forgotten about family shows, many of them still hold up incredibly well and manage to be even better today. More so than not. Have always liked shows that entertain and educate, 'Sesame Street' being ground-breaking in this regard, and there were definitely memories of 'The Magic School Bus' doing both.

My very positive feelings on 'The Magic School Bus' had as a child still hold up brilliantly. It is not only as wonderful as remembered, it is perhaps even better with more to appreciate. It is one of the very few educational shows to have a perfect balance of entertainment value, cuteness and educating younger audiences in a tactful way. As a show on its own terms, 'The Magic School Bus' has a real magical charm to it that still stands the test of time.

Visually, 'The Magic School Bus' looks great. Have always loved the vibrant use of colours, the beautifully detailed and sometimes imaginative backgrounds and Mrs Frizzle's outfits. The varied settings are lovely to see and used very well. The music is dynamic with what goes on and never feels out of place in a too jaunty or too dark way, while the theme tune is catchy.

Even as a child, the writing struck me as very clever and it was clear that those responsible for the writing were having fun and had done their research. There are many genuinely hilarious moments throughout, as well as some cute but never too sentimental ones. All the stories are lively in pace and engage fully throughout, they also entertain and charm hugely. There is a lot of educational information, of the how to kind than the basic gist, here, delivered in a way that is easy to understand without any dumbing down or preachiness.

All the characters are fun and memorable and individual in personality, Mrs Frizzle really does make education fun and worth engaging with and in. The chemistry is endearing and always natural. The characters are portrayed ideally too, nobody sounds odd.

Concluding, still has its magic. 10/10.
