Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Plus! Taught me then my daughter to read
I loved Electric Company as a kid, and I am convinced that it helped me become a very early reader. Thirty-five years later my family acquired the DVD collection and were amazed to watch our four-year-old immediately start applying the lessons to words she encountered in everyday life (in books of course, but also often on street signs or commercial trucks). She remembered sound-and-letter-combinations like "ch" and "ow" and "ea" and used them with delight. Now she's in kindergarten and her teachers ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - not what I expected
Not only is the return policy terrible, this movie has too many adult interviews to entertain little kids.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Blast from the Past!
This past summer (2009), Electric Company came back on TV - - once a week on Fridays. I was so excited to watch it with my three kids (ages 4, 4 and 6) because I grew up watching it. I was so disappointed because, while the new episodes tried to teach reading, the show is so modernized with things like rap and kids are now the "stars" of the show.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Turn on the Power!
This dvd set brings back wonderful childhood memories of watching television and learning with a smile. I really never thought I would see any of this stuff ever again and would like to thank Shout! for making this dvd set possible.

This set contains several episodes from each season. Thinking back to the early 70's while growing up I would have to say the definitive seasons were two, three, and four. The changes that were made starting with season five, as I remember, annoyed me for a few ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - still the best!
My son lived for the Electric Company every day when he was a child, so now that his daughter is 5, he suggested that us grandparents get this set of DVD's for her. She too, has watched them and already memorized so many of the familiar songs we all knew from 35 years ago. It is just as educational as it was then and the skits just as entertaining.
