So, take a trip back in time with Spider-Man, Letterman, J. Arthur Crank, the Short Circus, Jennifer of the Jungle, DJ Mel Mounds, Easy Reader, Paul the Gorilla, Lorelei the Chicken and all the rest with THE BEST OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANY.

Excellent content for children from birth up to 39 years old! Every scene/skit teaches reading skills - no time wasted. My children have the opportunity to learn and laugh the way I did when I was young(er). I just wish we could see more of the episodes...
