We just watched the very first episode of The Electric Company. Fargo North, Decoder; Love of Chair; punctuation; the different pronunciations of 'g' (well, two of them: g as in gum and as in gym), special effects that look both psychedelic and very 1970s and which ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude says came from a machine that ate most of their budget, Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby; crank calls on a phone that rang in Cosby's ice cream cart. Also a silly intro of people saying "hello" in lots of different ways, the sort of thing that you might do at the beginning of the first episode. And an animated 2001 pastiche, introducing "oo" as in boo ⇒ boom ⇒ bloom.
The DVD has four more episodes (not 2 through 5, but something like 26, 58, 342 and 798 (the label looks like 79B, but that seems unlikely)), which we'll watch later.
I'd had a long day, Cattitude is taking good care of me, and eel sushi followed by silly television helped. So didjulian_tiger, who purred when it was needed most.

You didn't mention one of my favorites: the woman who misdefines words, and her friend who tries to straighten her out. I loved that skit when I was a kid.
I love the costumes best of all.

It's fun noticing the things that you'd never see on a more modern show, like Cosby puffing a stogie during one scene, or somebody learning to read from a pack of matches...

Ooh, I wonder if they have "Zoom"?
