The Electric Company Funding Credits Compilation (1971-2011)

[@RJSchex]

Season 3 (Episode 290) depicts the "shortened" version of the funding credits, in which lightning bolts appear as "The Electric Company" morphs into "The Children's Television Workshop"; afterward, the show logo with the CTW text inside cuts away, instead of deconstructing. The shortened funding credits (which also feature the theme beginning later than usual) were also known to be used on Episodes 302, 348, 358, 360, 362, 367, 371, 374, and 375.

At 13:02 it is a "Tune in Next Time..." episode teaser from Episode 8B/658 in Season 6, followed by a full Season 6 closing theme of "The Electric Company" with a montage of various clips from this show's six seasons on the air, and followed by a shortened Season 6 closing theme of "The Electric Company" with the female voice over, and the scrolled underwriters funding credits as corporate sponsors. And this reminds us how time goes by, when we remember the CTW produced program knows how "Reading can be fun" on "The Electric Company."

I too was an EC fan when it aired; I learned to read with its help as well as that of its sister program, Sesame Street.

(Season 3, Episode 290) cast credits error at 7:07-Lee Chamberlin's name is omitted. Also occurred one week before (#285), but was corrected by #350.

The one with the word don't was particularly funny.

[@rhsharp]

It was. I was bummed when they dropped “The Last Word” bit beginning with season 2.

[@seanmontgomery801]

I like the crackpot one.What season was it when they started doing the 3 and 5 second word reads?I ask that because they should have a episode guide or even a playlist shown live not still like Sesame Street episodes do too much,that won't even show episodes 2400,2409 where Elmo gets tickled, 519 where the girl imagines she's bubblegum and gets tickled and even The Big Trip game show episode where Big Bird has to find 5 things that begin with the letter B in 70 seconds to win "The Big Trip" to Hawaii,and letters were B,P and the number 7.

[@seanmontgomery801]

I wish they'd show the episode 51 B where they had the h,bl and the ue sounds.

[@seanmontgomery801]

Would be awesome if the 1978 to 1984 Electric Company reruns would be shown live.

I remember a version of the outro that had tubular bells along with horn sections and wah guitar. Does anyone remember this? Am I thinking of a different show?

[@nsputnik]

I found it. It was the music that played during the funding source message after all of the credits on Sesame Street, maybe on EC too but just not shown in this compilation.

The Children’s Television Workshop kept overlying on the Sesame Street franchise that is why The Electric Company ended in 1977.

[@NJGuy1973]

Around 1975, Sesame Street got enough revenue from merchandising that it didn't need funding from the government. But The Workshop was getting funding at the expense of the member stations. The stations said, "Either share funding with us, or drop Electric Company."

Were Sesame Street and The Electric Company the only daily shows in TV history to roll credits only on Fridays?

[@rhsharp]

At the time, yes they were. Mister Rogers' Neighborhood had complete credits at the end of every episode. Full credits varied on Captain Kangaroo.

[@Marbles471]

Most of the old CTW shows did that. 3-2-1 Contact and Square One TV also did it during the '80s. Sesame Street did it all the way up until the 2002 season.

I loved the retro Electric Company 10 times better than the 2009 one.The Captain Cluck epidodes were super weird,but the Jack Bowser ones with the 24 were quite cool especially when he always made it out of the traps in the nick of time even when the 24 countdown might've gone a little too quick.I love the 3 and 5 second word reads much better than the 5 and 10 second ones.They should the ones with Spidey reading Yeti in 5 seconds and wins,Crank missing the word grouch in 3 seconds saying grr grr grr and time expires and he gets mad,but wins on the word not in 3,sleep in 5,but the 3 on the word and,I agree with Crank on that one ,what was that strange noise?He was gypped, it was no 3 secs, that was more like 2 and a half. EASY READER READING "payday" in 3 and wins,Jesse with "lift " in 3 ,wins,Julie in 3 with "point",wins.Samantha reading "call" and "who" in 3 both times a winner.Fsrgo North Decoder reading "wind" in 3 and winning,Julie reading "dress" in 5 seconds after the News Station sketch where Fargo tries to help the weatherman with a message while the reporters play cards and the message is "Dress properly".
