dude, THE ELECTRIC COMPANY is back!!! and it's not only not awful but it's not falafel either. while the new version honors the spirit of the classic 70s PBS jawn (which included such greats as Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby, Mel Brooks and Joan Rivers?), it's all about the present (guests will include Common, Jimmy Fallon, Tiki Barber, Wyclef Jean and Kenneth from 30 Rock) where everyone has mad mad superbad special skillz and shows them skillz off by rapping about letters and words... even white peoples!! even this cutie pie mcgee Jenni Barber kicks the ballastics!!!



where else are you gonna learn alls about the 'Silent E', the true 'ninja' of the English language? be sure to go to the video section on their main site, and under 'featured clips' watch the music video for 'Silent E'. that song is more catchy than herpes. 5 reals!
