I don't wish to come off a snob but the 2008 reboot of The Electric Company sucks While the animation segments are the best part, The frame device (being The Electric Company themselves) is so ridiculously corny [think CBBC's The Basil Brush Show but amp up the obnoxiousness to eleven] (yes, The Basil Brush Show is better Electric Company 2008) The show itself fails to live up to the classic 1970s series in concept and execution
