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!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea. The Electric Company! I look forward to that. Thanks for the news.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteI loved Electric Company, Sesame Street, and The Muppets. I'm so excited for the new programming!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Electric Company-eee, The Electric Company-E.E.E.!

"Picking up words and making them run right."
Whoo. . .That's a blast from my past.
But I still haven't forgotten it.
