I loved the original TEC! I hope the standard sticks. I hope that Dr. Brown doesn’t follow the trend to “dumb it down” as many do with children’s programming these days. I loved the original TEC!

"LetterMan" helped my much-read-to, superhero-obsessed 4-year-old son finally bridge the gap in realizing that letters come together to make words. In one viewing! The new one will very likely not even come close to matching the original in terms of intellectualism and humor (and of course it will be "Brought to You by Pampers and McDonalds", like everything else in today's "public" television). But I can understand the impulse to revive it, hoping to catch the attention of boomer parents like me who are nostalgic for our childhood favorites.
