digitallyOBSESSED Jeff Wilson
The show remains entertaining... despite the dated nature of the clothes and slang used at times; I enjoyed seeing these again, and my son immediately loved them. |

The Onion A.V. Club Keith Phipps
The video effects, cheap sets, and awful '70s clothing have aged poorly, but like Sesame Street, Electric Company still stands out for its idealistic innocence and its sheer inventiveness. |

IGN Todd Gilchrist
Ultimately, The Best of The Electric Company is a perfect companion piece to the... Muppet Show: Season One box, both because of its substantial content and ageless appeal. |

Chicago Tribune Louis R. Carlozo
At a time when too many kids shows -- including a few of today's PBS offerings -- suffer from jump-cut editing, soupy scripts and brainless plots, the Emmy award-winning "Electric Company" stands out like the smart, funky kid in a sea of drones wearing mall-store duds. |

PopMatters Dan MacIntosh
Sound educational and entertainment principles are clearly at its center, which makes it still worth watching today. |

Under The Radar Nick Hyman
If you are searching for an instant hit of '70s nostalgia or have kids who need some electric edutainment, look no further. [#13, p.103] |
