    Yes, it brings back so many cool memories. It’s funny because I just watched the one on adverbs/adjectives and now I finally understand how they work. Ha ha ha ha

    I remember them all from my childhood. Always on between saturday morning cartoons. Back when cartoons were only on saturdays

    because a noun IS a person place or thing, Jesus what else would it be DUMBY

  13. SoCalBuck42 says:

    Dumb - Dumb,; the song is stating the any person , place or thing is a noun —— it doesn’t say anything thing else can be a noun.

  14. amandanepo92 says:

    While that is true, you gotta remember this is made for kids, so why not let them believe that a noun is just a person place or thing? They can just get into all those messy details like Abstract Nouns when they are older.

    Excellent idea. Good luck. This Schoolhouse Series was one of the highlights on Network TV in the 1970’s. It brings back memories.

    Glad to see that this song is being taught in school.

  18. ptp44444 says:

    @2:09 my most favorite part, the girl dancing!

  20. 44justinbieberfan says:

    those words are abstract nouns

  21. Snootwaller says:

    A cute video like all of the Schoolhouse Rock series, but modern linguists recognize that the term “noun” cannot be so neatly defined as a “person place or thing”. Here are some examples of “things” which are not really things at all: “courage”, “emptiness”, “darkness”, “two”, and “red”. (”Two” is a noun? Example: The guests arrived in twos and threes.)

    We must start sending ABC emails, demanding they resume airing “The Bugs & Tweety Show”, followed by “School House Rock” at 11AM on Saturday mornings.
    Kids shouldn’t be deprived of these great programs.
