I grew up in the eighties and LOVED shows on pbs. Does anyone remember the name of a show that took place in a department store and had a mouse, and a manequin that came to life when a man put her hat on her? I cannot remeber the name of it and its driving me nuts!! Also, does anyone remember the show, the polka dot door!! What GREAT memories the 80's bring!!

I have fond memories of the "Electric Company" ;D

I really liked the Spider Man Skit with an educational twist. The way they animated Spidey's Web was really kewl!! 8)

I still watch Electric Company every once in a while.  My favorite PBS show was Reading Rainbow!!!!  I loved that show!!!!!!!!!!  I used to get mad if we got home late and I missed it.

How do you still get to watch the Electric Company? Our local PBS affiliate doesn't show it!

I think "Electric Company" comes on the channel "Noggin"

You know I don't watch The Electric Company anymore on Noggin because I was tired of watching the same old shows from 1971-1976 and back again.And as for Reading Rainbow,I used to love watching that show.That show has been on since 1983.almost 20 years.I wouldn't be suprised if I saw a Reading Rainbow 20th anniversary next year. -howard- :)
