4.0 out of 5 stars A great box set albeit a bit pricey, September 26, 2000

If you grew up in the 70s you remember Schoolhouse Rock. Those little three minute cartoons really grew on you. My daughter is 9 and she loves this set... we listen to it in the car all the time. I have two small gripes, though: as other reviewers have noted this is not the entire collection. There are four Money Rock songs that are only available on the Best Of Schoolhouse Rock disc. Also, this four disc set would fit on two discs with room to spare (even with the additional four Money Rock songs). Spreading it over four compact discs smacks of gouging and that kept me from giving it five stars. But it is a great set and there's nothing quite like it. Recommended if you have kids (they'll dig it) or were a child of the 70s.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll unpack an adjective...Wonderful, February 12, 2000

Though SHR was before my time, I still heard the songs when we watched an America Rock tape in my eigth grade history class. I absolutly loved them. When I saw that there was a complete box set, i asked for it for x-mas. I now own it and love it. The songs are great. While America Rock is, in my opinion, the best overall, science rack has the best music and Grammer rock is the most helpful in terms of actually teaching something. Though this set isn't cheap, it is well worth it considering you get four classic CDs, and intersting liner notes that tell the story of SHR. This is a must have collection for anyone who remebers SHR, or wants their children to remember it.

4.0 out of 5 stars So close to five stars..., April 14, 2000

I love school house rock. All of the songs are great, even the songs I didn't think were all that wonderful when I first got the CDs. But one flaw remains. This is NOT the complete school house rock songs. If you want the other half of money rock, you'll have to dish out another 12$. I just went to the library and checked out the Best of School House Rock and just kept on renewing it.
