The Magic School Bus

The Magic School Bus is a Canadian American animated children’s television series that ran from September 1994 to December 1997 on PBS, Fox Kids, and Discovery Kids, airing a total of 52 episodes. The television series is based on the children’s book series of the same name, by Joanna Cole, and is one of the highest-rated PBS kid’s shows for its successful combination of entertainment and educational value. The Magic School Bus is about a class, headed by the unusual teacher Ms. Frizzle (Lily Tomlin) who happen to have access to a magic school bus that takes them on educational field trips like no other! From visits to outer space for a study of the solar system, to a field trip through the digestive system to study human anatomy, to a voyage to a volcano, no trip is too far, or too physically impossible for these kids, their enthusiastic teacher, and their reality-defying magic school bus, as long as there is something to be learned. The Magic School Bus has long been a favorite of kids everywhere and is likely to continue so for many years to come. MORE
