As a bonus, the show was unusually stacked with both female and minority characters. By giving the audience character surrogates and taking them literally inside these topics, it made them both easy to understand and very memorable. Exploring concepts through the safe confines of a transforming bus is ingenious. One of the things the show did the best was to link scientific concepts to real-world, relatable things. Eventually, Raphie’s immune system determines that a microscopic bus filled with tiny humans is an abnormal occurrence in the human body and quickly attacks them, imparting a vivid and traumatic lesson to the children on how the immune system works. The second was “Inside Ralphie” in which Ms Frizzle and the class fly the bus into Ralphie’s cut and drive around inside his body. So, you know, don’t try this at home, kids. Also, Arnold vindictively removes his helmet on Pluto, his head instantly freezes, and later he gets a cold. It’s really clever educational storytelling and a blueprint for the rest of the series. The plot invests the audience in caring about the rescue of Ms Frizzle and imparts knowledge of the solar system as a byproduct. Eventually, Ms Frizzle disappears, and the class has to save her, learning about planets along the way. Here, each of the characters establish themselves as their respective archetypes (which honestly works) and the class heads up to space. The first was “Lost in Space,” the pilot episode of the show. Two episodes, in particular, stand out in my memory over the rest.

And instead of having to open up some dumbass textbook your parents had to quit weekly date nights to be able to afford, you actually get to experience the subject firsthand? The way The Magic School Bus presented scientific subjects was novel and immensely creative.
