The Electric Company is coming back to PBS in 2009. The original show ended in 1977 and featured famous faces like Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno. The new version will be a weekly series, unlike the old one which was daily. For those of you too young to remember (myself included) The Electric Company was a bit like Sesame Street for older kids -- stressing literacy, healthy eating and such in a fun, clever and hip show.
