I can still recall some of the characters, especially "Fargo North, Decoder".

And it launched Morgan Freeman's career, which is truly great.

I remember watching the electric company back in the early 80's from preschool to kindergarten. it was a really good and fantastic children's educational show. quite goovey too for its style back in the 70's. and all of those sounds they used, I know where they came from. since i'm big on synthesizers, I just know they had to be using a Moog or Korg analog synth to create all of those bleeps and blurps. and why did PBS stop producing more shows? HEY YOU GUUUUYYYYYS!!! that show rocked as a kid to me! LOL the love boat launched a second wave, so why don't they do the same with The Electric company? bring it back!
