Too much emphasis on quirky visuals and identification with characters. Sorry, I'm no TV buff and don't mind saying so. Let's wean children off television and quit telling ourselves that TV "can be a great teacher." ALL IT TEACHES IS HOW TO SIT AND QUIETLY WATCH THE SCREEN. I question using TV as teacher.

I never really understood the appeal, no offense. I think it might be a generational gap-I do have a great recall of the educational songs on the Animaniacs and Pink & The Brain however. P&TB was also a great gateway into learning about classic films, in addition to being totally hilarious.

The remarkable thing is that I really did learn from it. The cartoon was great and the songs were entertaining. It's too bad nothing like this is on now in between children's shows on Saturday mornings any more. Kids could learn so much from them.

I do remember in the 70s being starved for rock music on television. I wonder which sub-genres will be used in the current production of the DVD? If it can make a connection with its audience, I'm sure it will be a very effective tool. I’d not heard of the series, but it sounds like a great idea.
