Movie Reviews of The Electric Company's Greatest Hits & Bits
Movie Review: Brings back fond memories
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD brought back very fond memories. The skits, the songs, the people who made this show work. And, of course, The Adventures of Letterman. That, and the Spiderman skits, were my favorite parts of the show. This DVD also opened my eyes, too. I was surprised by the very famous people who were part of the show, but never got credit for their work on the Friday credit roll. If you were, or still are, a fan of this groundbreaking show, get this DVD. Trust me, it'll a great trip down memory lane.
