- The Electric Company belongs to Sesame Workshop.
Yeah, I'm doing these again! Also, for the ones that are from DVD's, I'm including the intros and outros - you may learn a little something else about Electric Company at the end!
Never too old for Electric Company. I'm 60 yrs old. Still my favorite.
I’m 51 and when I was learning to read in Kindergarten (1977) this show would supplement what I was learning at school. Good times.
I'm almost 58, and this show was instrumental in my development as a younger reader. Categorically, the Electric Company will forever remain a hugely important and deeply formative part of the indelible soundtrack of my life.

I agree with you 100%❤
I'm 50 years old now and still love this show!!!!
This brings me back to ages 5-9.....thanks Electric Company ....Thanks Rita, Morgan, Skip and the rest for helping me become a better reader. I even had their record album
The Electric Company is the very reason I love to read as I do today... I truly thank you The Electric Company. ❤😊
Totally agree,❤
I loved this show.....i remember running home after school to Watch......loved it more than sesame street
Sesame Street was great too, but I agree, The Electric Company was my favorite childhood show.
Watching this show everyday made me a great reader!😊
I know what you mean. Because of TEC, by the time I hit kindergarten, my pronunciation level was at a senior high level and my comprehension was at a junior high level.
I was 5 when The Electric Company premiered, and now, at 58, I love it even more.
I was born in 2004, and the New Electric Company was what helped me learn how to read. It's nice to see the origins of where all that came from. It's actually more entertaining than I thought it would be, lol
I’m from the crew that experienced the original Electric Company. Glad you found the oldies entertaining. The new Electric Company has its place too.
@@troyc4250 But the New version with its cast playing Superheroes and Supervillains (ala Cops and Robbers) is becoming something forgotten. I know where you are coming from with the focus on both shows being on reading and literacy. The NewEC had its moments with its songs and then some (had its own Silent E song along with Two Ways to say C, and Pocketful of H's with Jimmy Fallon). It did jump the shark too quickly in the third season.
The original did not do the shark jump in spite of using celberty cameos in season two, adding SpiderMan in the fourth season and even having Chuck Jones producing Road Runner shorts for TEC. In the end it was not being able to make money that ended the show in 1977 while Sesame Street was solid gold. However TEC stayed popular into the mid 1980's and age caught up with it.
This is possibly the most ‘70s piece of media I’ve ever seen. I love it
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
It’s time for the
Electric Company
Yo🎉🎉🎉!!!!
Memory lane here. One show that helped me get and stay several grades higher than the other kids. I could read and write 4-5 grades higher than the other kids.
Thank You
Electric Company 🎉❤😊😁😀
I always love the bicycle ride with Judy & Rita
you won't find googles (lol)!
I like the songs😊
I was a preschooler in Nova Scotia watching The Electric Company on WGBH out of Boston. I honestly think this show was more important than anything I learned at least till grade three or four.
what a delight to find these, we used to watch the show, I think we were in middle school/junior high, and loved Love Of Chair and Fargo North, Decoder, all of it! The word play was such fun for older kids who were already strong readers.
These were both Skip hinant
This is why I was reading at 3 years old!!❤❤❤❤
Need shows like this again.
This was made in the days when Bill Cosby was actually a respected tv star.
This show probably taught me to read. It's amazing how many classic bits are in this very first episode. Also, note the heavy use of Scanimate (analog electronic video animation--that's what's being used to do the opening theme effects and to make letter shapes wiggle and distort). 1971? This was cutting-edge technology at the time.
People act like Morgan Freeman isn't in everything, but he literally is.
Thank you for bringing light from a long time ago into my current darkness 🙏♥️
You're very welcome.
I loved this show!!
Legit laughed out loud at the little plumber skit.
Oh my! How awesome to find classic Electric Company! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I’m used to watch this show I’m was missed😢😢😢
If you’ve already mastered the skill of reading 📖, this show can help your wordplay skills.
The first scene starts out with meet and greet with all stars getting together
Begins with Hello. But the series will end with All.
More words I know with g are ghost gallop gas garnet gem gel genie and gypsy
you forgot Georgia, Greece, and grandmother--lol! and punctuation can easily become a karaoke song!
So it begins... again.
Starting with a hello song and ending with a goodbye song.
Where's Ice Cream? It's filmed outside in a park where Paul Dooley the ice cream vendor is calling "Ice Cream" and Rita Moreno hears it across the park and comes running for it and needing it bad, until she she consents to Ice Cream and the venor puts an unwrapped Fudgsicle in her mouth all to the ethereal music of Joe Raposo with a male chorus singing "Ah" in unison. It's from Season 1 of The Electric Company and probably my favourite sketch. I 1st saw it when I was about 21 months old and I could relate to loving ice cream.
I can remember watching in the common room in 2nd grade.
I would love to see this on HBO Max since this is an old school show
Please enable subtitles on all episodes. I will not watch any without subtitles.

Anyone know what episode is Sharon Should Shrink1
I hope you find the Monolith Scram segment
Watched every day… 2:30 WKET… Ky Educational Television…
Saturday mornings...
My kids loved this show....and particularly liked the "Noisemaker Lane" song. Where might that be located?
It would be fun to send it to them. ;-)
I don't have it, nor do I know that song. Can you tell me how it goes? What letters are in it?
@@lucasjohnson6507 Wow.....way too many years ago, but it was a catchy tune about living in an part of town with lots of noise going on around it and
they'd focus in on some of it during the song. Could it have been Sesame Street instead? They watched the Electric Company far more though.....

I Like Studying English 😍
Me too!
That bicycle scene was not funny I called that girl to meet me up at the comedy club and I told her to go up inside walk up on stage and go tell her stupid jokes to someone else
it is disingenuous to talk about yourself the way that this self absorbed narcissist introducing this iconic tv show
Didn't they cancel this show because they said it was too violent?
