The Electric Company is coming to DVD next week! Granted, it’s a Best Of type thing, but four disks ain’t bad. I’ve been waiting for this ever since I taped two hours of TEC off of Noggin when that channel first started. I’m not the only one excited about this, am I? Am I???
Oooooh…temptation! Spaghetti with a Spoon. Who can turn a dam into a dame? Silently, silently, silent - l.y. Upside-down Town. Spiderman, where are you comin’ from? Spiderman, nobody knows who you are! Heyyyy, youuuuu guyyyyys! And what about…Naomi?
Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. My mouseclick finger’s twitching…
I remember a song, sung in the style of Johnny Cash, about how to convert verbs to the past tense; Old Friend E-D. That one might not play quite the same these days.
And I’ve heard that Morgan Freeman wasn’t happy during his time there. Really, really wasn’t happy. That’s put a bit of a damper on my memories of the show.
But I was a Tom Lehrer fan for years before I actually knew that I was.
We’re gonna turn it on
We’re gonna bring you the power
We’re gonna light up the dark of night like the brightest day in a whole new way
We’re gonna turn it on
We’re gonna bring you the power
It’s coming down the lines, strong as they can be through the courtesy of The Electric Company
