Something to Look Forward To In 2009

THE ELECTRIC COMPANY is coming back to PBS in January. We saw a sneak peek at NCTE this year and I just shared some of the preview clips with my 9 year olds. Looks like a fun, updated version. And it was fun to see some of the same routines (Do you remember, "HEY, YOU GUYS!?"). If you want to see what it's all about, I found some preview clips on the site here.

We saw the new gang in action at the national Book Festival, and the kids were mesmerized--I don't thibnk they'd seen anything like that before!

That is so cool! I'm only sorry that my kids are past the target age. I grew up watching Electric Company and it would have been fun to have my kids grow up with the new version.

I loved Electric Company, Sesame Street, and The Muppets. I'm so excited for the new programming!

I loved the Electric Company-eee, The Electric Company-E.E.E.!

"Conjunction Junction, what's your function?"

"Picking up words and making them run right."

Whoo. . .That's a blast from my past.

But I still haven't forgotten it.
