- Shawn- Since Sesame Street debuted in 1969 and Electric Company debuted in 1971, calling Electric Company a "precursor" to Sesame Street would be incorrect.
Now, all of my kids watched Sesame Street and they could ALL put two items in chronolgical order by the time they were five. Makes a pretty strong case against Electric Company being "far superior in every way shape and form."

- I'm a bit older than you, and both shows came out right when I was their "target audience". I loved them both, but have to admit that there was something cool about "Easy Reader." Maybe it was the way he drove Miss Daisy to the Piggly-Wiggly. Maybe it was the wisdom that he shared with Andy Duphrene. But he was the best.

- See, all I got were re-runs. It was Electric Company that supposedly taught me how to read.
It is cool to see my four-year old and two-year old take it in too!

- Just because it was YOUR favorite doesn't mean it was first. You watched Electric Company and then Sesame Street every day for what felt like YEARS on end. I caught myself singing along to some of the stuff when the kids were watching it the other night. I can picture you and your brothers watching it in Germany. Thirty minutes of guaranteed peace and quiet for mom!!!! Love you.
