I made my boss laugh hysterically because of this show one time. I was working retail many years ago and we ran out of bags and he was all panicked so I said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. HEYYYY YOOOOOUUUU GUUUUUYYYYYYYYSSSSS. (I waited a few seconds.) Oh yeah. That's right. That doesn't work for me anymore. I got nothing." And he fell out laughing.
This was my favorite show when i was a kid (mid 1970s). It had real talent with the likes of Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby. This new version, not so much. Guess I've finally turned into my parents.
I'm 29, yet I watch this show. It's because of Francine. I can't get enough of her. They try to make her look like a dork, but she's hot. Also, Lisa is a great dancer.
@team5ancient Daniel Tiger was originally created for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and now Daniel is keeping Fred Rogers' legacy alive with a new show coming this fall, "DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD."
Your right about one thing which i agree with you on. people are entitled to their own opinion of whether they like/dislike of what they saw. but it doesnt necessarily mean they have to go up on stage and write a *speech* about how good/bad a video is, and what action needs to be done. like for instance, your request for T.E.C. to be pulled off local tv programming.
your the only one that has a problem with the show. so chill
@katylin900 Thanks to the original Electric Company, I never failed a spelling test. I watched it before Kindergarten. This crap couldn't touch the original.
@Strawberrypie01 Well as father of a 6 year old girl who watches what she watches, I can tell you that it is the Electric Company. It took me a while to get used to it without Morgan Freeman or Rita Morino, but it's actually really cool.
They should left it alone!!! Dont get me wrong.. I know They need to modernize it but they should of remixed it with the old one like muswic artist like to use everyones music!!!

PBS...do yourselves and our kids a really BIG favor and PULL THE PLUG on the new Electric Companaaaaaaay yo yo YOOOOOOO!
The origional series...as dated & as trippy as it may be....was a classic work of art not to mention a great learning tool for kids and to try & remake a masterpiece is a bad idea in general. Sometimes on rare occations remakes are good, but this new series tarnishes a classic work of art.
Sorry for the ranting & raving but I had to say what was on my mind.
@darthsideous1968 actually, this one is very funny, and i prefer this one. even though i don't particularly enjoy the beat boxing parts, most of the songs are catchy and the storyline is what keeps me coming back for more, even if it's a rerun.
Another good lesson to learn here about the number 1 kids is when something was done right the FIRST time "(like the origional Electric Comapny was)" it is unwise to try and improve upon it because when you do it brings about disasterous results, Not to mention terrible ratings!
Besides that kids go to school today to learn how to speak english....not ebonics
Yo,Dat,Ye,wut up,electric companaaaaay is street slang not english.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yo yo yo YOOOOOO!
Let's learn about numbers kids!
The number we will learn about today is the number 1!
Why Number 1???
Simple. Because It is about how long this new & horribly down graded rap & ebonic ladden series will last on tv,ONE season,maybe less, before it is ultimately consigned to the great dumpster in the sky where all the tv remakes that thought they were going to hit it as big as the origional series go when they horribly crash & burn!
I grew up on the 70s EC...and I've s hown my students the classic eps and the LOVE it...this new version has it's perks...it does somewhat follow the orginal format...but does so in shorter segments *as does Sesame Street* because our children today do NOT have the attention span we had. It's a koo show...but IMO doesn't measure up to the original. But neirther did the 90s version of Zoom...or the current verison of Sesame Street. But I still think it's a start cuz PBS was BAD 4 a while.

WHAT IS THIS?! It's not The Electric Company, that's for sure! I'd rather brush my teeth and drink orange juice than watch this! HEY YOU GUYYSS!!, ...Bring back the REAL Electric Company! I guess if this actually teaches kids, it's not too bad. Does this new show employ "outcome based education"?
