Great learning entertainment for elementary aged kids!
This is a great update of the show I watched as a kid. The electric powers and musical breaks make it a very entertaining way to learn about the English language. The good vs. bad students are a bit over the top at times, but they make my kids laugh and they get that the bad kids are wrong.

Great for everyone
Educational, great cultural diversity, appealing characters, and best of all FUNNY! Even for parents. I have fond memories of the 70's version (Love of Chair! What about Naomi) and this updated version is almost as good. My daughter has learned a lot about reading, letters, and especially Silent E.

Great, great show!
We (7&5 yo) love this show don't miss an episode to watch together. If my family had the choice between Electric Company or iCarly. Electric Company would win. I like the phrases I learn to help with homework; such as "Silent E is a Ninja." My boys like the people based story lines and appreciate a show that I'll watch with them.

Excellent for beginning readers
My son likes the plot element--there's a "mystery" running through each episode interspersed with bits to help teach reading. He seems to be getting a lot out of it--he's just learning to read so he is really ripe for what this show is teaching.

Betcha didn't know: "Silent-e is a Ninja"!
At first I thought that the Pranksters offered a bit too much of a bad role model for the kids, but each episode makes sure that they don't prevail so it must just be my kid that prefers/looks up to the prankster characters... I should keep an eye on that I guess. Regardless, the "commercials" with the phonics and reading lessons are very catchy and do their job well. As a target watcher of the 70's version, I don't remember it being this cool back then!

My husband and I watch it even if the kids are napping.
Very catchy songs. The baby likes to dance to the music.

Good for ages 6+
Great fun, educational, my 6 year old loves it. I think PBS should slow down the fast rhyming songs so kids can process the words and patterns.

Your 1st Graders on up will love this!
My six year old daughter loves it and is learning things, that push her way past shows like Sesame Street. The technology is cute and stories are socially positive.

A must see show!!
My kids and I watched the first two episodes of this the other day and it was great!!! I always love when there is a show that I enjoy watching with them and this is one of those shows. Lots of educational moments with good music and funny characters! What a great, fun way to introduce or enforce phonics to your early reader! I wasn't born yet when the older version was on but we sure are enjoying this one! Can't wait to see the next episodes! Definitely check it out.
