I am sooo excited that I found the 4-disc DVD of the best of The Electric Company at Best Buy! 
We had 5 channels to watch when I was growing up. Three VHF and two UHF. (If you are right now wondering what in the world I am talking about, close this window and come back after you have asked a grown up about or researched the ins and outs of television signal frequency.) Channel 24 was our public television station and ran what seemed to be a continuous loop of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Sesame Street, and The Electric Company. I'm sure they ran more, but I was obsessed with these three. As I got older, the three shows would become two and the two would become one and, eventually I no longer watched. Sadly, you outgrow each of the shows as maturity sets in.
Now that senility is beginning to set in, I can watch my DVDs and reminisce about fuzzy reception, after school snacks, lying on the carpeted floor on my belly in front of the tv, and rabbit ears.
Good times.
