Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr. follows Tina, a teacher who is nervous about her first day of teaching. She tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of her personality emerge from the set and show her how to win her students over with imagination and music. Parents, especially, will remember songs such as “Just A Bill,” “Three is a Magic Number,” and “Conjunction Junction.”
