THE ELECTRIC COMPANY! HITS AND BITS! 2007

Rita Moreno’s cue card director character always bothered me as a kid. She was so mean.

Such a quality lineup.

Great to see Bill Cosby trying to teach kids. A little inappropriate since he drugged and raped women.

I grow up on Electric Company in Jamaica.

Joan Rivers was the announcer of Letter man ❤

I was one of those kiddos who got excited when the teacher said to roll out the TV, cause we were going to watch The Electric Company!!🤗

Once in awhile we got Sesame Street, and Mr. Rogers too!

No lessons, or homework on those days was another reason I liked em!

Mulligan Stew was another one we saw on occasion, 321 Contact, but now I'm forgetting some of the others they showed in the afternoon, oh yeah, Zoom was a later one in the decade, or the 80's?!

Back then you watched shows when they were on, cause we had no VCRs!

Watching it now is nostalgic, as I've forgotten so many of the characters like Dracula, and Letterman, (good thing they didn't make his first name David, narf! 🥴) but I wish they had added one of the Spiderman skits!
That's the one's I liked as a kid!!

My Mom stayed in another room when I watched at home, cause she said she hated "all the yelling" Hey You Guys, and in the skits! (I found that odd, cause she was always yelling at me!😁🤭)

Grew up watching this classic PBS show.

Im geeking at the fact that this show came out the year i was born !!!😮

My all time favorite SpiderMan song was from the Electric Company! Spider-Man where are you coming from? Spider man nobody knows who you are!🙏💕🙏💕🙏🥳✨🕷️🕸️

Saturday Morning Live for Nineteen Seventies kids. 💕💕🙏💕💕🙏✨💃🏾🥳

IF THIS SHOW WAS VERY GOOD FOR THE KIDS WHAT HAPPENED ? WHY DID IT DISSAPEAR GO AWAY ????????????????????????????????????

This was a great show. My sister and I loved it and still do. Rita and Morgan were so fun and talented on this show.

At 55, I still remember so much of the Electric Company. I'm sure it positively colored so much more of my perceptions as a growing child than I'm even aware of. Great actors guided us towards a fun new way of learning.

When I was young I actually confused The Electric Company's "Letterman" with DAVID Letterman 😅😅😅😅

This was honestly the Best Hour I've spent as an adult revisiting one of my most Favorite shows of my childhood! I'm almost in Tears watching these wonderful memory filled performances!!

This is when TV and PBS was pretty decent!!

Andy, played by Jim Boyd, was my favorite!

Where is the 1971 special 'Here Comes The Electric Company' and where are the five pilots, produced in black and white?

This was before the debut of the updated reboot.

For some reason, I've always hated the monolith shorts.

Was Judy a blonde wearing a burnet wig back then or what cause she doesn't look anything like from the show?

loved this show in the 1970s. Watched it on channell 11 on PBS in chicago everyday back then.

At 59 I still love The Yellow Yahoo and his tree, in the shape of a Y

This show helped me read at three years old and I absolutely loved it! I have the DVD set and showed my son at the same age. He also became an early reader and loved the show too. Still a smart and funny show 😄

The effects of LSD on society very evident in these old children's shows

The Electric Company was BY FAR the most instrumental in my learning of reading & writing. I loved this show's presentation and ability to work grammar into a learning exercise in such a fun and inventive way. Rita and Morgan were such inspirations to achieve toward. No disrespect to Jungle Judy or Crank, I loved the entire cast and Short Circus equally too. The Electric Company dropped at a point in time that I do not think can be ever replicated. A shame in a way, but us GenXers NOW know exactly what this show meant to our cognitive development. I wouldn't want it any other way in retrospect.

And at 33 minutes from the beginning, a place not to be in 2020 (lol)!

And finally, some 24 minutes into the show, the world's very first Siri (known then as Stanley--lol)!

You mean Googles (lol)!

I never could remember learning to read. I just always knew. I remember reading to my kindergarten class. I'm sure my mom must have taught me, but I think sesame street and the Electric Company must have played a big part.

God bless Joan Ganz Cooney

Wow. Gen Xer here. My generation was so ver......y ver...y luck... y. And I've only realized today why I've always seemed to have recognized Rita Moreno, Morgan Freeman et al. without ever quite where I saw them first. Very lucky!

That was awesome! I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. One of my favorite shows from back in the day!
Top to bottom and left to right, The Electric Company is outta sight!

I am 53 years old and yall got me humming the theme song at work all day long!! HEY YOU GUYS!!! THANK U Guys for the great great memories!

I'm so glad I grew up in that decade!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"HEY YOU GUYS!!!!" is perhaps the single greatest catch phrase in the history of television.

I remember being the age it was aiming for and not “getting” the humor. I know now how brilliant it is but the dialogue at that time was too fast.

Back when they actually taught children the necessities of life unlike today with CRT and other woke poison.

I still love the Electric Company to this day and have the DVD set. I even love Rita Moreno! "HEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOUUUUUU GUUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSS!!"

Hey you guysss!!!

Children's television workshop #1 Rita was hot

I never liked THE ELECTRIC COMPANY

I learned how to read when I grew up watching the Electric Company before it got cancelled. 😭😭😭😭😭
