Oh my gosh….Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and Mr. Rodgers were the big 3 in my house growing up!!! We didn’t have cable so these PBS shows were a special part of my day-my Mom wasn’t big on letting us watch the tube!!! I can’t wait to watch an episode-hooray!!!

Now if we could just get Square One back… I miss “Mathnet” and “Late Afternoon with David Numberman” (Corniest parodies you’ll ever see but addictive as anything as a child… To this day if I multiply by 9 I get the Nine song stuck in my head – “nine nine nine, fantastic number nine, times any number you can find, it all comes back to nine…” um yeah…I haven’t heard it in 20 years but I can still sing it…then again I’m quite good at remembering songs from Mr. Rogers as well, even the opera ones like “we are elephants” from Josephine the Short Necked Giraffe (Yes I am a fount of useless information, ROTFLOL!)

Oh wow! You know…I never saw an episode on purpose. I think it used to come on after another show I was watching and my mom would always turn The Electric Co. off before I got too far in. I’ve always wondered what it was about!
