In January 2009, a brand-new, high-energy version of The Electric Company was introduced by PBS, to step in to bridge the literacy gap, helping 6 to 9-year-olds expand their vocabularies and learn to love reading. The reinvigorated program follows a crew of street-smart friends who dance, sing, and beatbox their way through the literacy challenge of the day. Now in its third exhilarating season, the show has earned numerous awards, including seven Emmys (Outstanding Children's Series) and two Parents' Choice Awards.Franscent: Francine ruins both her science project and Lisa's.
