''The Electric Company'' was an [[Edutainment Show]] that ran from 1971-77 on [[PBS]] (and the last two seasons reran until 1985) from Children's Television Workshop, the company that previously brought the world ''[[Sesame Street]]''. Its main purpose was to teach reading to reluctant readers by using [[Sketch Comedy]], but its clever writing, memorable characters (such as Easy Reader, Fargo North Decoder, J. Arthur Crank, Jennifer of the Jungle, Paul the Gorilla), appearances by [[Spider-Man]], animated inserts with the superhero Letterman, and psychedelic Scanimation visuals made it a cult hit with all ages.
