If you didn’t catch the Emmy award-winning show, The Electric Company, as a kid in the late 70s/early 80s, it’s not too late to tune in and turn on. Your kids can learn reading funk-damentals, while grooving with a fly, young Morgan Freeman as DJ Mel Mounds (“Outtasighteous!”). Other cast members include Bill Cosby, Rita Moreno, and a pre-Fame, Irene Carra, with voices by Joan Rivers and Mel Brooks. It's educational, hilarious and graphically mind-blowing. Although the show was developed to help ages 6 and up learn to read, it's fab viewing for younger kids, too. And you're guaranteed to learn a few new dance moves.

The Best of The Electric Company 4 DVD pack is $49.98 (and worth every penny) from Shop PBS.
