about

(1) The Electric Company was a live-action series produced by the Children's Television Workshop (2) The Electric Company was also a 60's Garage Rock band from the USA [1] The Electric Company was a live-action series produced by the Children's Television Workshop following the success of Sesame Street. Developed by Sesame alumni, including executive producer Dave Connell, the program ran on PBS from 1971 to 1977, and the last two seasons remained in reruns until 1985. A total of 780 episodes were produced—130 a season. While Sesame Street was targeted primarily at preschool children and covered a broad curricular base from letter and number recognition to shapes, relational concepts, and abstract ideas, The Electric Company was aimed at elementary school kids aged 6–9 and intended to teach and supplement reading skill instruction, with emphasis on phonics, rhymes, punctuation, and basics of sentence structure. Although the series used a variety of short segments and animated commercials much like Sesame Street, there was no one central set equivalent to Sesame Street as the primary starting point. Its slogan was "for the graduates of Sesame Street." The show also utilized a repertory cast portraying a variety of recurring and one-shot characters in contrast to the central human figures on Sesame, who generally had fixed names and identities. The company included such name players as Rita Moreno and, during seasons one and two, Bill Cosby, as well as a then-unknown Morgan
