   ‘I like fish food, you do too…’ I think Electric Company did a few clips similar to this. One Sesame Street that immediately comes to mind when I see this is ‘City Alphabet.’ Nice memory – thanks!

   if you just insert the word “anymore” into your post, you’d be making a safe bet!

   I believe this came from Sesame Street rather than the electric company. But I’m glad to have found it and have pulled the MP3 off of this video for my iPod. Yay!! Thanks for posting.

   Various clues in various shots have led me to deduce that this clip was filmed in October 1971.

    When it came to preparing for reading comprehension this show was tops. I was reading at about three because of this show.

    I doubt it — it’s produced by WGBH Boston, Sirius Thinking, Ltd., and Mississippi Public Broadcasting, while the Electric Company was produced by the Children’s Television Workshop, now known as Sesame Workshop.

    To my shock, my little boy read competently a few weeks after he turned four. I never dreamed he’d learned, and I credit “The Electric Company.” I enjoyed watching it, too!

    I was on a junior high reading level when I was in first grade thanks to The Electric Company. :)

    We seriously need to make kids shows like this again.

    Unfortunately, the establishment seems currently enamored with drugs and quacks for the kids, instead of quality programing and learning. I guess it more suits their “bottom line.” It’s too easy to make perpetual, easy and stupid dollars on ignorance and repression.

    Seems mostly what the establishment has for the kids today is drugs and quacks.
