[edit] Was it live action or animation?

After reading the first few paragraphs, I'm still unsure of what the skit was, exactly. I never saw The Electric Company as a kid, as it wasn't carried (as Sesame Street was) by CBC, so you can't assume a typical reader will know whether it was live action or animation, unless it's specifically stated in the first paragraph, preferably in the first line. This is especially confusing:

Unlike other live-action and cartoon productions of Spider-Man, The Electric Company's version of the web-slinging hero communicates only in word balloons because he is drawn without a mouth.

From this I could guess it was animated, since it mentions him being drawn, but it was called a skit in the intro paragraph, and the above line says "unlike other live-action," which leads me to believe it could be a live-action skit. Very confusing. Kaijan 16:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

It was live-action, although animated panels were shown (as in between scenes). It really isn't that confusing. [[Briguy52748 17:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)]]

The way it was worded was confusing nevertheless. Kaijan 02:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Just as an aside to the above discussion, the CBC did air The Electric Company at one point. I recall seeing it on weekday afternoons. 23skidoo 17:24, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia tag

Last month, a trivia tag was placed on the page, but there was never any discussion or reasoning on the talk page as to why? I think the person who tagged the page should explain why he feels this article contains too much trivia. Thanks! [[Briguy52748 17:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)]]
