Get ready for the inevitable letdown.

Brace yourself for “Mommy, Daddy: this is dumb.”

Okay, okay. Calm down a second. We know you’re probably having a joygasm right now at the sight of us selling The Best of The Electric Company Volumes 1 & 2 on DVD. If you’re in your 30s or 40s this is probably tripping over all kinds of synaptic wiring in your head, flooding your brain with childhood memories and images you enjoyed watching the shows as a youngster.

So now you’re faced with a purchasing decision: some of you might be struggling with how to justify buying a nearly-40-year-old kids’ show on DVD. Some of you might be prepared to buy these and introduce them to your own kids, maybe under the guise of “this is what I used to watch when I was your age!”

It’s a dangerous path, friend.

See kids today, as you’ve probably heard, are spoiled, no good brats. They have their video games and Blu-rays and shoes that light up and nothing impresses them. So don’t be surprised when your nonplussed spawn looks up and gives you a “What’s the big deal?” roll of the eyes. And then you’ll have a hard decision to make.

Because you can throw out DVDs without getting too much flak. But people tend to notice if you cast your children out into the world for disagreeing with your entertainment choices.
