I love this movie so much

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I was ten in 1974. That is really the year I started to dig EC. I thought Joan Rivers was super when she announced Letterman as being "faster than a rolling "o".....stronger than the silent "e" ...able to leapa capital "T" in a single bound". That jazzy Latin American number "Punctuation" was my favorite Electric Company tune. Victor Borge, the famous punctuation "teacher", was cool with that vocalized question mark and period (pop!!) thing. Most children in my second-grade class preferred the Electric Company over Sesame Street hands down. I thought the Love of Chair thing a little stupid. Who did the "Freddy's Free Fruit" skit? I do wish EC continued on TV. A few parts I thought dumb, but the Joe Raposo music was groovy!!!

... able to leap Capital T in a single bound... it's a word... it's a plan... it's LetterMan (with Joan Rivers doing the narration!)OMG does this bring back memories! Unfortunately I don't have Noggin on my basic cable, but they did a preview a few years back with about two hours' worth of EC highlights, and I made sure I taped that puppy!Along with Sesame Street, Zoom and all the others (remember Carrascolendas? Now there's a blast from the past for some of you!), these shows made learning fun. The Electric Company especially brought phonics to life with all of the songs and skits. And just look at that talent roster: Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby, Rita Moreno, Irene Cara, not to mention all the memorable characters they created!Favorite song? Hmmmm... how about "See Sam, See Sam sit, See Sam sit in the sun, See Sam sit in the sun sipping soda". Or maybe "If I had an ING, I'd go on a flING..." I also liked their skit on WAS and IS, with everyone dumping garbage and whipped cream on the WAS (with Rita Moreno's little girl character commenting, "That WAS a very nice WAS!")Okay, I'm probably scaring a lot of you right now, so I'll stop here and go visit Romper Room and the New Zoo Revue!

I watched every episode of "The Electric Company" with my children. When they got too "old" for the genre, I had occasion to watch it by myself-this led to a lot of teasing, but I thought "Dracula" and "Easy Reader" were just great. Today I was surfing the Children's TV Show Archives, and naturally clicked on "Electric Company." DEJEVU! Morgan Freeman was the actor portraying my favorite (vicariously enjoyed) characters! The first time I saw Morgan Freeman in my adult life was in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." He looked sooo familiar, but I just couldn't place him! What a rush! ...life has come full-circle for me. A fan of this man all my life-and I never realized it! What a treat!

The Electric Company has returned on Noggin, Nickelodeon's "other" station. I catch it in the wee hours of the morning. It's great to watch, even at 27. I'm going to record the episodes so that my kids can see them, too!Check your local listings (if you have Noggin) for times.
