Is The Electric Company a cartoon?

The Electric Company was a live-action children's educational television show. While it featured animated segments and some cartoon characters, it wasn't a cartoon itself.

Here's why:

* Live-action actors: The show primarily featured human actors interacting with each other and the audience.

* Real-world sets: The show was filmed on real sets, not animated ones.

* Educational focus: The Electric Company aimed to teach children about reading, writing, and other subjects through entertaining stories and skits.

While animated segments were a part of the show, the core of The Electric Company was live-action, making it a unique blend of educational and entertaining content.
