Summary of The Best of the Best of Electric Company

FEATURING BILL COSBY, MORGAN FREEMAN, RITA MORENO and More!

"We're gonna turn it on.
We're gonna bring you the power."

If you were between six and ten years old during the years 1971 through 1985, then there is a good chance you learned to read with help from The Electric Company.

Comedy sketches, music, animation and special effects were the tools of this "video" classroom. The show was so terrific that it attracted major talent. In addition to stars Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno, Joan Rivers, Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel were the characters in "The Adventures Of Letterman." Mel Brooks was the voice of the animated Blond-Haired Cartoon Man. The satirist Tom Lehrer wrote ten songs for the shows.

The Electric Company was a product of its time - perennially cool and hip, while never wavering from its educational goals; it was full of wit and energy and made learning to read fun.

So, take a trip back in time with Letterman, Easy Reader, J. Arthur Crank, Fargo North, Decoder, the Short Circus, Jennifer of the Jungle, and all the rest with THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANY.T
