I remember the Schoolhouse Rock episodes with much fondness, but in all honesty, I don't think I learned much grammar (or anything else) from them.
I remember thinking that conjunctions had something to do with train cars, and that bills had to sit outside on Capitol Hill until they magically became laws.
