I remember thinking The Electric Company was so cool! It wasn't babyish like Sesame Street. Did you know all the kids on the show were called The Short Circus?? I didn't know that at all! I always liked Julie the girl with the long dark hair. I thought her hair was the greatest! And......Irene Cara from Fame was also in The Short Circus.
There were so many famous people like Morgan Freeman, Joan Rivers, Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby on The Electric Company. I've always wondered if they were famous at the time and offered their services because they knew it was a good cause or did the creators of the show just know how to pick the right talent!
Even the PBS station promo at the end of the closing credits makes me happy. When I hear that I feel like I am 5 years old back in my safe, warm, cozy bedroom.

Wahoo! I'm so glad someone remembers the Electric company! I tell my kids about it and they look at me with blank faces..ditto, I remember a happy time when hear of things like 'The Electric Co.' Cheers!
I remember it, but I think it was after my time, never really watched it. You all are so young.
I bet we are closer in age than you think!
