The Electric Company

Are you looking for good educational programming for your school-aged child? Then look no further than The Electric Company!!

I am in my 30's. When I was a kid, The Electric Company was in reruns but I distinctly remember watching it. See, this was back in the day when children's programming wasn't on all day long. A friend of mine brought up the show and I looked into it and it is being revamped and re-released as of January 23, 2009!!

Do you remember this bit?



Do you know who that man on the left is? I think you'll be surprised to know that it is actually...

Morgan Freeman! Both he and Bill Cosby starred in the show! Who knew?

Anyway, while Sesame Street is for younger, pre-school children, The Electric company was (and is) targeted for school-aged children. So, if you have some of those, give it a try!! As a bonus, it airs on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) so you know it will be good, wholesome programming.
