TV Shows - Electric Company, The

The Electric Company was an educational American children's television series that was produced by the Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop) for PBS in the United States. PBS broadcast 780 episodes over the course of its six seasons, from 1971-1977. After it ceased production that year, the program continued in reruns from 1977-1985. CTW produced the show at Reeves Teletape Second Stage in Manhattan. The Electric Company employed sketch comedy and other devices to provide an entertaining program to help elementary-school-age children develop their reading skills. It was intended for children who had graduated from CTW's flagship program, Sesame Street. Appropriately enough, the humor was more mature than what was seen there. The original cast included Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, Judy Graubart, Lee Chamberlin, and Skip Hinnant.
