by Susie Sunshine, via Creative ReporterDo you remember Easy Reader, Letter Man or screaming "Hey you GUYYYSSS!" on the playground? If so, you were probably a child of the 1970's.

The Electric Company was part of PBS's innovative educational children's television programming focused on developing reading and phonetic skills. It featured talented actors such as: Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, and Morgan Freeman in entertaining skits and silly situations.

While I remember really liking this show (and being highly annoyed at constantly having to read the words in Spiderman's thought balloons to my younger sister) the details are fuzzy as I haven't seen it since I was a child. That's about to change as The Best of The Electric Company will be released on DVD, February 7th (available for pre-order on Amazon.com.) It's time to recharge my childhood memories and expose my own children to the fun of hanging out at The Electric Company!
