The Electric Company was the show I most looked forward to as a kid. The funk beats and catchy songs fooled my generation into believing we were being entertained, while teaching us grammar, phonetics, reading basics, and even manners. The show is long since off the air, the 780 episodes living on as nothing more than a memory.
Fortunately, a small fraction of the show’s best material is keeps popping up thanks to various fan sites. This post originally referenced one called The Electric Company MP3 archive. That site was forced offline by Sesame Workshop, which isn’t too surprising since they technically own all rights to the show. The latest place to find Easy Reader and the full cast of characters who appeared in past episodes is on YouTube. We’ll see how long this one lasts.
You can also find a DVD boxed set containing some episodes of The Electric Company on Amazon.
