Hey you guuuuyyys!

Xer television touchstone The Electric Company has arrived on DVD -- hallelujah, hallelujah! It’s still surprisingly entertaining, even if you already know how to read... as I note in my short review of the new best-of set over at FlickFilosopher.com.

You’ll also find, over at my other site, the chance to snag one of two copies of the set I just happen to have sitting around. Simply write a funny caption for a still from the show, and if you make me laugh, you might just win.

In the meantime, check out this interview my buddy John Muir conducted with actor Paul Dooley, who was the head writer at The Electric Company in its first season. Who knew?

OMG!!!! "Hhh ... attt ... hat ... How 'bout that!!!!" Ok, ok ... My mom thinks there's something wrong with me because I can provide harmonies to the Constitution's Preamble. Why? Because of SchoolHouse Rock, of course. I'm so psyched.
I'm just a bill, I'm just a bill..
So am I the only one to totally rock out to Schoolhouse Rock on a regular basis? And is it just me, or did the Electric Company totally kick Sesame Street's ass?
Nope: Conjunction junction, what's your function? I loved Sesame Street until it became The Elmo Show. I adore Elmo, but he needs to realize that he's a character actor, not a star.
