My kids love it!, 8 November 2004
Author:
eoff from Carrollton, Texas
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.

Magic School Bus, 30 June 2005
Author:

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.

The best show EVER made!, 21 December 2002
Author:

I'm serious. This show rocked, even though it was educational. I loved
the
characters and the adventures they went on. You would never know which
outfit Ms. Frizzle would wear either. I even had a crush on one of the
characters (I'm not telling you which one!).
Liz has to be the cutest reptile on the planet. Carlos made plenty of bad
jokes and Arnold's "I knew I should've stayed home today" thing never got
old.
Bai bai, I'm gonna go bungey jump in the large intestine
now!

A Cute and Educational Show..., 7 August 2004
Author:
Ginger87 from New York City
When I was in second grade my teacher always brought in videos of "The Magic
School Bus". I loved the videos so I started watching the show on T.V. I
enjoyed this show because it made learning fun. I learned about the human
body, photosynthesis, outer space, sound, reptiles, and much more. It was
cool.
One of my favorite episode was the one when the class is investigating a
haunted house. In this episode the class learns about sound. I also like the
episode when the class went to outer space to look for a star for Dorothy
Ann. That episode was really funny.
I suggest this show to everyone and I give it 9/10 stars.

this is a GREAT series, 6 August 2005
Author:
nwbeeson from United States
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.

great show...wish it was still on TV covering new topics, 31 May 2006
Author:
cesardlg from United States
yes, sesame street and other shows teach the basics better. however,
once your kid advances to the "how it works" stage, this program hits
the nail on the head. my kid likes hearing how honey is produced and
what the roll of the bee-keeper as well as the queen bee, etc. There
are also a lot of factoids that he just will spout off for the next few
days. Sesame street was great when he was 2 and 3, but now at 4, its
magic school bus time.
we just recently discovered the books and they are great also. we do
story time before bed every time and usually its at least 5 books. one
of these books takes about 20-30 minutes though because there are a lot
of factoids in each of them and reading each and every one takes time.
i learned quite a bit myself. i kind of like the book better than the
show.

Awesome Science Lessons For Kids, 2 June 2005
Author:

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I love this show. My 4 year old is a science and animal freak. He knows more than I do and that was before we discovered Magic School Bus. Since we discovered The Magic School Bus he has learned even more and has added every video and book to his birthday wish list. This show has also stimulated his imagination. When we are in the car he plays "Magic School Bus" and pretends our car turns into different things. Each episode takes a science based subject and the class goes on a field trip to learn more. The bus will turn into something and they go off and learn first hand. For example, if the subject is space then the bus will turn into a spaceship and they will go up into space to learn. If you have a child that loves science and loves to learn this show is great. Give it a try.

Was Quite the Educational Children's Show., 5 December 2002
Author:

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
[MAY BE SPOILERS]
Ordinary schools take field trips to museums to learn
about
things, well in Ms. Frizzle's class, their field trips don't go
to
ordinary museums to learn about outer space. They actually go
into
outer space! They've been just about everywhere! Even inside the
human
body to see how everything really works. The class pet was Liz,
a
chameleon, or was she an iguana? Anyway, I like the episode where
Liz
goes to a reptile center where she actually has a restful time, but
the
kids think the people there are being cruel to her so Ms. Frizzle
and
the kids transform themselves into reptiles, even the bus get's
turned
into an alligator. Or how about the one where the kids shrink down
to
look more closely at the workings of a car engine when the bus
breaks
down. Yeah, they've just about done everything and have gone
everywhere.
This show isn't on TV anymore, but I wish it were. It
was
entertaining as well as educational and there aren't many shows
like
that anymore. Lily Tomlin supplies the voice of Miss Frizzle! I
don't
really remember more about this show, but I do remember it was
done
well and it's one of those shows your kids should watch, so anyway,
in
conclusion, they should return this show to television. It was a
good
one.
