I bought this for my infant son who shows a somewhat dismaying interest in television even at 7 months. So, I figured, why not get him started on something educational? He'll roll around on the floor and pay fairly frequent attention to this video. I think it's great, even better than I remember, because it provides visual and aural cues about word phonics. The skits are short, good for a kid's attention span, and interspersed with cartoon shorts. If you didn't watch this as a kid in the '70s and have no nostalgic affection, you may find the overall look dated. However, the educational value is unmatched by anything I've seen on TV today. Plus, you get the added bonus of seeing Morgan Freeman being his hot self as a young actor, teaching kids to read.

I had forgotten how much of my afternoons were spent with the electric company and how much of what I learned in school was reinforced by the show. My son struggles with reading; so, when he started teaching his little sister the words and begging to watch them again and again I know it was money well spent.

I have no doubt that this DVD set is great. I grew up watching the show and I was excited about bringing back a little of my childhood. Unfortunately, the Amazon description is incorrect as the set is not closed-captioned. Customer service said the set I received must have been defective. I received another set and.. no captions. CC isn't even on the box.

This collection brought back wonderful memories of learning. All of the favorites from The Electric Company are included. My teen and grown nieces and nephews laughed at first, but soon started moving to the music and saying how "cool' the show was. They loved it just as much as I did. Although the clothing and hairstyles have changed, the interactive learning and fun is just as effective as ever. The Electric Company is still a winner.

I bought this collection for my nostalgic husband for Christmas, and it ended up being my 4 year old son's favorite show. He can't get enough of it, and it is inspiring his already budding aspirations to learn to read.
My husband is a notorious collector, but I didn't want to buy the entire series. This Best Of is a great representation of the show, and I think 4 discs is plenty.
