I was out for pizza with 7 other people, ranging from 19 to 32 (I was born the same year as Electric Company) and none of my friends remembered the show. One person, also born in 1971, swears that everything that happened on Electric Company was REALLY Sesame Street. That comment was made after I mentioned that "yeah, I like Sesame Street, but I like "The Electric Company" and "Villa Alegre" more. The 32 year old vaguely remembered The Electric Company, but no one had heard of Villa Alegre (which is mentioned on IMDB, with absolutely no details). These shows are what helped my sisters and I learn to read, and the children I know do not read, and I think that Electric Company and Villa Alegre should be brought back. PBS should be a learning tool, for reading, language, and counting, not just to animate the books I devoured 20 years ago.
