I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I had a huge crush on Julie, the cutie from Short Circus. I think it may have been that she was like me, Asian-American, and I could relate to her (don't know how exactly except for appearance). All I know is that she was quite popular here in Hawaii. So without sounding like an obsessed crazed fan, I will simply say that TEC was a great learning tool for me and my three brothers. As a latchkey kid throughout the 70's, this show was a great distraction from the bigger problems around me. I don't have as great a memory about the show's skits and musical numbers, but I do remember episodes of Spidey, Letterman, and Rita Moreno's "Hey you guyyyyys!". I can't watch a Morgan Freeman film without first seeing Easy Reader. The silhouettes of two of the show's cast members compounding words remains vivid. And T-I-O-N, shun-shun-shun-shun....classic! I have never heard of Noggin, but it sounds like a great network(?) in the same vein as TV Land.

This was my favorite TV show ever, tied with The Bullwinkle show.I would get home from work, open a beer, and watch the late-afternoon showing, giggling all the way.Aburdist comedy, plus reading instruction. What more could you want? Superb acting? Bread on Morgan Freeman's table before the world recognized him as a great actor? Rita Moreno's movie director, the Fiddler on the chair sketch, Mel Brooks saying "That doesn't swing!", the "Everyone has Pain" song.WHEN will this come out on DVD? Is it showing anywhere in the US? Will the old record ever come out on CD?

Hey You Guys! I really loved the Electric Company even though it was five years before my time. I can say that I learned a lot from this show. Just basic reading and grammatical skills that so many kids are lacking these days. This show was really fun and there were a lot of people who made it that way. They really need to make more educational programs just like this so that kids can keep an opened mind as to what's out there rather than relying on other TV shows that don't really have any educational value and do very little to stimulate young minds.I'm surprised that this show isn't in syndication and hasn't been released on DVD and VHS because the Children's Television Workshop could profit very well from it.

The Electric Company has returned on Noggin, Nickelodeon's "other" station. I catch it in the wee hours of the morning. It's great to watch, even at 27. I'm going to record the episodes so that my kids can see them, too!Check your local listings (if you have Noggin) for times.
