For kids, and for parents, educational shows that aren’t a total snooze are to be cherished. The Magic School Bus was such a show in the ‘90s. In its original run, the show based on a book series ran on PBS for four seasons and 52 episodes. For once, watching PBS was not a chore for children (or, for many adults).
Lily Tomlin voiced Miss Frizzle, a cheerful teacher who fortunately happens to have access to a magical school bus that allows her to take her kids on all sorts of adventures. The show made good use out of celebrity guest voices, though we imagine most kids weren’t really excited to hear Elliot Gould or Dan Marino.
The parents, though, may have gotten a kick out of it. What’s important is kids learned and nobody was bored into nodding off.
