LissiLMay 27, 2009This is my daughter's favorite favorite tv show. She has learned vocab, phonics, and even how to use some punctuation. The characters are lovable and easy to relate to. The graphics are just out of this world!

Sep 14, 2010My sons all love this show. The use of hiphop is an inspired addition to the Electric Company tradition and underscores the important interplay between the written word and the spoken word. I also loved the original, and it was right for its time. The new version is right for our time and for our kids today.
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.
