Top Ten Best Magic School Bus Episodes
I deeply loved this show as a kid, as well as many others did, I'm sure, on this site. It ran from September, 1994 to December, 1997 and consists of 52 glorious episodes. And when you're reading each title, remember that "The Magic School Bus..." precedes each to make a complete statement.
I think I was the only one who wasn't scared by this episode, Why, you might ask?
Because I knew that they wouldn't kill someone in a Kids Show, although I kinda feel like this was probably what Arnold would've wanted after a few episodes.
It's the original pilot episode of the show, and it's the reason why I still think of Pluto as a planet.
But. I like it and I'm fully grown kid
Don't forget that Pluto has moons!
I wasn't as much afraid of this episode as I was entertained. There's so much awesome stuff to look at in this episode! Plus, Carol Channing has a cameo at the end. CAROL CHANNING! It almost makes me tear up.
This episode was scary to me in kindergarten but it was cool to watch the sound moving. Scary organ though
They should remake the episode but edit the ending and make them get pooped out of Arnold's butthole instead. It would be so much funnier XDDD
Arnold hates going on fieldtrips. Well, guess what Arnold, now YOU'RE the fieldtrip. Open wide, boy.
Lol Arnold got what he deserved! HA!
This should have been Inside Ralphie
The volcano episode. We're talking lava, explosions, and really creepily squished faces at the end (if you've seen it, you know what I mean). Overall, awesome!
This episode was pretty good!
You know, that TERRIFYING episode where Arnold gets "turned into a ghost"? It's scary as hell, but equally as fun to watch.
The famously hilarious cake episode. You know, with the really cheesy, mustached baker? You probably already knew which episode it was from the title, right? Yeah. Thought so.
Not to be confused with "For Lunch", this episode has to do with undersea plankton and fish. Of course, as you probably guessed, a fish eats them. You know you loved it.
Every single object and building in town gets horrifically turned into cans and plastic bottles after the bus turns evil. What? That doesn't scream "holiday special" to you?
Earth Day + Cocoa Beans + Inspector 47's bad accent = a crazy, fun episode!
Does a good job teaching about the circle of life
The class goes to visit the dinosaurs. Need I say more?
One of the most iconic episodes of the series
My favorite Magic School Bus episode 🦕🦖
Dorothy Ann is sick and she wants her own star. WELL SHE'S GOING TO GET ONE, DAMN IT! Even if it means the rest of the class gets sucked into a giant red ball of burning gas and gets seriously burned for life in order to do it.
So help me, the.
FIND YOUR OWN STAR
Really makes you want to build your own gumdrop bridge
It's fun watching everyone and their rainbow projects
It's great for learning about the evolutionary supremacy of butterflies
The whole class thinks Ms. Frizzle is a vampire. Which is ridiculous. SHE'S OBVIOUSLY A WITCH! I'll tell you, I was afraid to drink tomato juice for months after first watching this one. Not that I'd drink it anyways. I mean, come on. Tomato juice.
First of all, I wanna know why the teacher would take off with every adult in the whole building, leave the kids there, and put a LIZARD in charge?
Phoebe is worried about how animals in the desert survive. Well, Phoebe, they've sort of been doing it for millions of years. I think they're fine. Don't believe me? Ok, then.
Phoebe is such a kindhearted and brave animal rights activist
Love this one but Phoebe is a scaredy cat and I imagined if they had the kids as adults she was a member of the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
A very cinematic episode dealing with spiders
It's entertaining watching them make all those devices to harness energy
The class acts as a physical representation of the water cycle. Since I've seen what happens to Senator Kelly in 'X-Men', I'd say, DON'T DO IT!
The waterworks mechanics always fascinated me as a kid
Does a surprisingly good job teaching about aerospace engineering
A Phoebe centered episode about plantlife
The bus turns into an obviously "Star Trek-ish" space ship and goes in to space (again) to stop an asteroid from colliding with the Earth after Dorothy Ann has a prophetic dream about it. Dang it, D.A., what's with you and space danger?
The class all turns into mussels. Because that's not creepy.
It's a tropical day.
Hakuna Matata.
I'm going to let you discover this little treasure for yourselves, if you don't know it. The title should be a good enough clue.
Arnold turns orange from eating too many "Seaweedies". Why he'd want to eat those at all remains a mystery to humanity.
