WITH THE FRIZZ??? NO WAYYY!!!!

Oh, the 90s. Every cartoon toted educational messages, often preachy and heavy-handed and sometimes awkward. With all of this wonderful ridiculousness, a show like The Magic School Bus was really welcome. It actually taught you something useful AND was fun. You never felt like someone was speaking down to you, and you just envied the small class size and the budget-bursting field trip take on 'different ways of learning.' Shit, all we got to do was make the occasional collage.

Seriously though, it was a damn cool show. Anything that involves a sentient magical bus driven by a crazy witch lady and her biologically engineered super-lizard flying children around space and lower intestines is kind of worth watching. I also always loved the bit at the end, where 'real kids' asked questions about the episode, and pointed out things that couldn't have actually happened. It was a great way of covering their ass, and making us feel smart.

Poor, poor Arnold though. He wasn't psychologically able to cope with the mad shit storm of hands-on learning. You'd think that kid would have transferred to another class or something. You know, give some other kid the chance to RIDE AROUND ON A MAGIC SUPER BUS INSTEAD OF SITTING IN A CLASSROOM. What a douche.
