Schoolhouse Rock Live!, is an Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs. This nostalgic production instructs a whole new generation to "Unpack Your Adjectives" and "Do The Circulations," through the experience of a nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about the first day of teaching.

The novice teacher tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs as "Just A Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly" and "Conjunction Junction."
