This is a GREAT product. There is quite a bit of repetition from Vol. 1, but that's the nature of the show and despite that, the new sketches and songs Vol. 2 contains make it well worth the money. Also, all the regulars from the cast show up to do commentary and remember, and that was really great to see!!!

This is a great way to get kids to start using words and sentences. I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old, and they really get great learning experience. They especially like the Spiderman programs. The songs are really catchy themes. I grew up watching this in elementary school and I am hoping my kids can benefit as much as I did. The quality is very good for being 30 year program.

Last Year I showed my gr. 7 and 8 kids pieces of eps from Vol One...and they really like the music skits of even the regular comedy skits...and picked up quickly on what skills were being taught...although some did not ...which means they NEED this show more than they think they do.
Now with Vol 2...I am GLAD that they have a separate songs sections...My *OLD* kids LOVE the songs...Sweet Sweet Sway, Boom, Knock Knock Rock, and Whimper and Whine are their fivs...while the Greedy Greg segment and The Short Circus and Rita Moreno song about the E on the End is my favorite.
Sometimes we bring the first graders up to watch with us....THEY REALLY get enthralled in it!
Bring on the next volume!

Volume 2 of "The Best of the Electric Company" shows the last few original broadcasts of the children's show from the '70's and early '80's. Having worked with each other for a long time, the skits are tighter and the comedy is even better. We see less of Bill Cosby, as his career has taken off by this point. "The Adventures of Letterman", narrated by Joan Rivers, is still there, as well as Molly, the Rita Moreno character who screams "Hey you guys!!!" at the top of her lungs at the bginning of each show. What impressed and continues to impress me about "The Electric Company" is how technologically simple it is, in present day standards, that is. Yet, and perhaps because of this simplicity, the child who watches these shows is able to learn, and WANTS to learn to read. I believe that the secret of the success of the show lies in the fact that kids are watching adults who could very well be their teachers enjoy themselves thoroughly while not only learning, but also by teaching how to learn effectively while still having fun.
