We’re gonna turn it on. We’re gonna bring you the power!
My parents gave Bug a collection of episodes of The Electric Company for Christmas, which he is slowly becoming acquainted with. And I tell you, they just don’t make shows like that anymore. I mean, it’s got Morgan Freeman! And Bill Cosby! And Rita Moreno! And crazy special effects! And awesome clothes! And the Silent E song! I highly recommend that you type the title into a search on YouTube and watch 3 or 4 of their sketches. You won’t regret it. Hey, and you just might learn something. I’m pretty sure the Electric Company was responsible for a good portion of my reading skills. I KNOW it is responsible for making my dad yell “Hey you guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys!” for my entire childhood life. Regardless of that fact, I have fond memories of it. I used to watch it after school, happily licking my daily spoonful of peanut butter. I was a weird kid.
