Sep 23, 2011While the new Electric Company gets an A for Effort (why not an E?), the show misses the mark. The characters have the appeal of an after-school program for older kids but with subject matter suitable for kindergarteners. This show is simultaneously so close and so far from that mark.
Awards & Rankings
-
Appealing to a super-sophisticated generation of kids is likely to be the biggest challenge for Sesame Workshop, which is producing The Electric Company for PBS.
-
Like everything else in the world, the show is faster, louder and busier, which would not necessarily seem to be the best environment for learning.
-
The only problem here is that once in a while the producers and cast get so enthusiastic about their production numbers, their words become almost unintelligible.
