That was just the vibe.

It was mandatory watching by the state education program. It had product placement and a clear message.

I mean, I feel like it would take more education to not see it as propaganda.

I didn't like The Magic Schoolbus either though. Same reason.

Oh, and Scholastic everything.

I've only seen Magic School Bus as an adult, but I don't recall any product placement? They seem fun and educational - like Storybots.

Only problem I have with those shows for kids is the lack of real people.

i felt like a lot of my teachers kept it handy in the "fucking hungover" pocket too
Well, good work avoiding that scam. I guess. Does this make you Goofus or Gallanyt?
