In case you didn't know (and I had no idea) The Electric Company is back! The original show that many of us remember from our childhood ran on PBS from 1971-1977 and included such luminaries as Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby and Rita Moreno in its original cast.
The new show started production in 2009 and has an app that's all about feelings! (Sorry, U.S. only...)
** Please note ** Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not. All apps that we post as Good Free Apps of the Day are verified to be free at the time of this post. We make no guarantees otherwise. **
From iTunes:

It also has to be good.
