The Magic School Bus

I used to watch the Magic School Bus and learned a lot from that program. I watched it when I was little and several segments were hilarious to me at that age. I still fall back on these tape to help simplify my knowledge when studying in high school. All those who say that this would never be helpful to children have problems of their own. Every person I've every known of who watched this series has found it useful and fun. Even my mother (52) watches it in her spare time. It's a helpful way to begin to teach more complicated science subjects to children. In my High school, the Graduates are required to watch one episode relating to the unit at the beginning of each unit. The Magic School Bus is useful and suggest to all parents to look into it to help commence some education in your child at a young age.

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.

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.

This was the most fun and educational show out during my life as a child, it was great so fun to watch, i would always run home after school to watch this show!! its the best educational show ever made in my opinion! i am buying the collectors box set tomorrow at Toys Are Us just to refresh my child hood memories it was great, i loved it when i was little so much to do so much freedom nothing can compare to what life has passed behind, So fun time DDLOVE IT DD d DDD DD DD D so fun to watch sorry i gotta keep typing unless it wont let me put in the comment okay so retarded i tell you but seriously best show in the world SHOW IS THE BEST SHOULD SHOW THIS TO EVERY CHILDREN IN THE WORLD IT WILL PLEASE THEM GREATLY!!

'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.
