A couple of months ago we
passed along a
TV Guide report that
The Electric Company, that mainstay of PBS from the early '70s, was coming to DVD in the future. Now online e-tailers such as
DVDPlanet.com are showing a 4-disc "Best Of" set coming out on
February 7th, 2006. There's no real detail yet, from the e-tailers or from the company that's putting this out, Sony Music. But we can tell you that the release has a list price of $49.95, and that DVDPlanet is pre-selling it for a discounted cost fo $34.97. Bill Cosby, Irene Cara, Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Gene Wilder, Joan Rivers, and Mel Brooks are just some of the well-known names involved with this classic kid's production (not to mention the Spider-Man installments!). Hopefully we'll see many of these on the upcoming DVDs. Stay tuned, and we'll fill you in once the details come across.
