PATREON UNLOCK: For The Kids 47: The Electric Company Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

A busy week at ECL HQ means that you get another look behind the Patreon paywall! Will and Lucas break from conventional format to discuss both iterations of the classic PBS staple, The Electric Company, from the 1970s and the late 2000's! They first go way back in time to explore "the One Piece of children's TV" and all of the fashion and chaos of the 70's, before looking back barely a decade to the more hip-hop-inspired and CGI-powered reboot. Along the way, they see some familiar faces on both casts, try and figure out exactly what's happening in the reboot, and determine if the show should make a comeback. Plus, Lucas met Spider-Man?!
