Movie Reviews of The Electric Company's Greatest Hits & Bits
Movie Review: should've researched it more
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, as some of the others have said it is a documentary. I found it on another website and have to say that the title and descriptions I found pre-purchase were not clear about the content. Hits and Bits? More like snip-its and interviews. Now I see the "The best of the best" and I'm skeptical. Is their version of "the best" what I remember as being so awesome? I wasn't planning on dropping $35-$50 each for Volumes 1 & 2. I should've checked in with Amazon reviews first.
Summary of The Electric Company's Greatest Hits & Bits
When The Electric Company made its television debut in October 1971, it was instantly clear that it would fulfill its mission of helping struggling and reluctant readers. With a cast that broke new ground in its diversity, clever writing, innovative direction and an original visual and musical style, the show was so effective that by the end of its first season, nearly a quarter of all U.S. grade schools were using The Electric Company in the classroom. Generations of young people learned to read from the series, making it one of the most important and enduring shows in television history. The Electric Company's Greatest Hits & Bits is a clip-filled celebration featuring many of the series' most popular segments (with Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman and the multi-talented Electric Company cast), and includes new interviews with cast members Jim Boyd, Judy Graubart, Skip Hinnant, Tom Lehrer, Rita Moreno and Joan Rivers, as well as with series creator Joan Ganz Cooney.Educational DVD Video
