Videos that work for Homeschoolers.
The Best of the Electric Company and Schoolhouse Rock have been excellent videos to supplement our homeschooling. The boys really love these and ask for more. I always get drawn in and the boys are always amazed and amused that Mom can sing/recite almost all of the skits and lyrics. Premiering in the early 70s (Electric Company in 1971 and Schoolhouse Rock in 1973) they are what I grew up on and loved. While not quite older than dirt (a title reserved for me) they are from an era that was just a bit more, well…not today. They, sadly don’t make television like this any more. 
Old-fashioned? Maybe, but these two DVDs work for us. For more Works for Me Wednesdays go visit Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer, the best tips of bloggers are found there.

I remember both of these! I didn't think to check to see if they were available on DVDs. Now I'm headed straight to Amazon to find them! Thanks for sharing. :)
I remember these too! I wonder if my local library carries either of these. I'm going to check it out.
Thanks for sharing!
I loved The Electric Company, but it was on cable which we were too poor to get :-( Now and then I'd see School House Rock too, which would be so much fun to show my kids. I'll look around for these, maybe someone is eBaying them.
Library is a good resource but we had to wait a month for the Electric Company. We own Schoolhouse Rock.
Great recommendations! Thanks for sharing! =)
i didn't know that they even made the Electric Company on DVD! It'll will go on my Amazon list. You are so right, they don't make TV like this anymore!
We have the Schoolhouse Rock cd and my kids and I love it! My 3 year old can count by threes and I didn't even have to teach her! I would love to have the dvd!
My kids loved those shows when they were little! My 22-year-old daughter still remembers, "Conjunction Junction, What's Your Function?"
Thats a trip down memory lane, I loved electric company!!!
