Hey you guuuuyyyyyssssss!!!!!
Who was around in the 70's and didn't watch the Electric Company.
Easy Reader (Easy Reader, that's my name I go unh, unh unh), Jennifer of The Jungle, The Adventures of Spidey, loved them all...

"Happy Birthday, Miss Jones, you've sure got nice . . . bones!"

The Short Circus, still remember "The Sweet Sweet Sway" and "..I was walking down the street and BOOM!
How about funky tune like the "t-i-o-n" cartoon:"t-i-o-n, shun, shun, shun, shun, t-i-o-n, shun, shun, shun, shun, help clean up the waterrrr, and help fight polluTION", man someone need to put out a colletion of the tunes for this show 8)...

In addition to giving a start to actors like Morgan Freeman and Irene Cara , plus vetrans Rita Moreno & Bill Cosby, did anyone reconize the voice of the voice over annoucer of "The Adventures of Letterman"?.....Joan Rivers.

But...does anybody know that Gene Wilder was the voice of the Letterman? I almost forgot about Fargo North Decoder!  ;D LOL! Thanks for the memories! Sincerely,Steve.

The six dollar and thirty-nine cent man and the gal with the bow in her hair,who was on the swing,were funny!Who played that gal?

Quoting:
Yeah the Electric Company ruled.   8)

My favorite part was the series they did on it called "The Chair", where they showed a chair that did nothing, but had an announcer say things like "The chair is in the middle of the room".

As I recall there was this brunette babe on the Electric Company (not Rita Moreno) who was Waaaaaaay hot.  I wonder what her name is and what she is doing now?  :-/

I had forgotten all about him. All those "Crank" calls. Another one I just remembered was with the bird saying, "Who is it?" "It's the plumber. I've come to fix the sink."

I almost forgot about "Crank". Morgan Freeman deserved to bcome a rich and famous actor. He is very talented. But the other cast members of "Electric Company" were good,and deserved to make it big,too. I wonder whatever happened to the actor who played "Crank".  ??? Thanks for the memories! Sincerely,Steve.

You know I am trying to search for The Electric Company on either DVD or VHS.The only thing I got was on ebay where someone was bidding on a $26.00-15-episode cassette tape.I would like to buy it to make my childhood memories complete.So far I have Mr.Rogers Sesame Street & hopefully soon...Electric Company!The reason CTW decided not to sell the episodes was because they thought people would start bootlegging which was illegal to do so.I mean,how in the hell can you sell a copy of a vintage 27 year old children's television show that people grew up on watching? That's ridiculous!After Noggin took it off the air,I wanted to get my hands on a copy from 1976-1977  :D

I loved this show SO much and printed histories of it from the internet. It wasn't until Driving Miss Daisy that I realized Easy Reader was Morgan Freeman. Rita Moreno, who is one of my favorite actresses (West Side Story, Cosby Mysteries, Nanny), was also in it as was Bill Cosby (first season). I also enjoyed the Short Circus singing group ;D
