    Post 'Schoolhouse Rock' creator and musical director dead at 94

    I remember my brother watching these on TV.

    'Schoolhouse Rock' creator and musical director dead at 94. Bob Dorough, the creator and musical director of the “Schoolhouse Rock” series that taught kids about civics, math, history and other topics, died Monday at 94. Dorough, the jazz musician behind the music in these educational cartoons from 1973-1985, was responsible for songs like “I’m Just a Bill” and “Conjunction Junction.”

    Ahhhh... memories of Saturday morning TV with these vignettes in between Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny. RIP my man.

    Loved that Movie. Would like to see the Broadway production.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.
