I loved you on The Electric Company. You helped me learn to read and love the English language. I also hope you will consider editing your tag line to “whose”, rather than “who’s”.

I grew up with Electric Company! PBS was a huge part of my childhood. Thank you for being a part of it.

It was/is a fantastic show! So many of the songs are still favorite memories. Thank you for educating and entertaining us!

You were my favorite Electric Company cast member. Well, you and Rita Moreno ("Hey you guuuuuuuuuys" will always be iconic), but your vampire was my absolute favorite character! Thank you for all you've done over the years, but especially for EC. 💙

I thought Easy Reader was cooler than the Fonz. Thank you for making me feel proud to love reading so much.

The Electric Company was my favorite show as a child. My siblings and I always watched after school. You are a gem! 💙
