Product Description:
ELECTRIC COMPANY'S GREATEST HITS & BITS (DVD MOVIE)

I have a tendancy to not check out the product information as thouroughly as I should. Remembering how much my brother and I were helped with our reading from watching The Electric Company, I got it to help my kids with their reading. So when I got this DVD, I was surprised to learn that it was a documentary. I was a little disapointed, because I knew they would never sit through a documentary. But I so enjoyed hearing the anecdotes, I decided to keep it for myself.

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.

If you were, or still are, a fan of this groundbreaking show, get this DVD. Trust me, it'll a great trip down memory ... Read More

Yep the original is still great, a fun trip down memory lane for any 30+ something growing up in the 70's. Outfits are Groovy! and the lessons are timeless. Let's hope the new version is as much fun.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I have been using the electric company videos in classroom for a couple of years for language arts. I thought that this dvd was more shows, it turned out to be more interviews than anythings else. My students love watching the shows.
