Anyone else here watch THE ELECTRIC COMPANY when you were younger?

pretty d@mn FUNNY for an 'educational' show...

and many cast members of Electric Company were Laugh-In regulars!!

I loved The Electric Company.  It is still strange to see Morgan Freeman and think that my first exposure to him was his being Easy Reader.

YES!  I used to watch it right after Mr. Rogers Neighborhood!

hey you GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS!!!!!!!!!!! :D.um,yes  ;)

I often wonder how the Laugh-In regulars got involved with the show...anyways it was brilliant having those zanies on there.

And the humor was NOT 'dumbed down'....

I think Laugh-In was taped at the same studios as Electric Company....

The show's theme song is playing in my head now..."We're gonna turn it on...we're gonna bring you the power' I forget the rest of it...anyone's help would be great..

HEY YOU GUYS!

We're gonna turn it on.
We're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna light up the dark of night like the brightest day in a whole new way
We're gonna turn it on we're gonna bring you the power
It's coming down the lines, strong as they can be

Thanx...

I liked the Electric Company, and I wish some network would show reruns of it someday. However, there was this one segment (which was a takeoff of 2001: A Space Odyssey) where this giant yellow monolith would come flyiing out of space and then shatter to reveal a word, and for some reason this scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. (It was most likely because of the imposing Strauss theme that accompanied the segment.)

One of the show's skits was a parody of "The Six Million Dollar Man"..The Six Dollar Thirty Nine Cent Man LOLOLOLOL!

Loved it...but don't really think they became Laugh In regulars as EC was in NYCity and Laugh In was in Burbank CA....there is a website for all things about the EC and I also liked  the OLD 'ZOOM' show there was a web site to tell you where the old ZOOM cast is now and what they became....

Ahh memories!

Laugh-In was first..and at least some Laugh-In alumni ended up on Electric Company.

Also EC's early episodes were indeed taped at the same facility...

Both shows,for those who are curious,were taped with an IVC helical-scan videotape recorder rather than the standard format at the time which was "quadruplex"....I won't go into detail here coz it's very complex...

I watched the Electric Co. all the time. A few years back, I got a CD of Tom Lehrer that has "L-Y" and "Silent E" on it.  ;D



Who can turn a can into a cane?
Who can turn a pan into a pane?
It's not too hard to see
It's Silent E

Who can turn a cub into a cube?
Who can turn a tub into a tube?
It's elementary
For Silent E

He took a pin and turned it into pine
He took a twin and turned him into twine

Who can turn a cap into a cape?
Who can turn a tap into a tape?
A little glob becomes a globe instantly
If you just add Silent E

He turned a dam - Alikazam! - into a dame
But my friend Sam stayed just the same

Who can turn a man into a mane?
Who can turn a van into a vane?
A little hug becomes huge instantly
Don't add W, don't add X, and don't add Y or Z,
Just add Silent E
