Maybe you've heard of Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno. Maybe you forgot their performance together: YouTube - Electric Company Easy Reader Song
When I saw that video clip it reminded me of another. Maybe you've heard of Laurence Fishburn. Maybe you forgot this performance: YouTube - cowboy curtis
I remember the theme music for Electric Company, but I don't remember the show or the actors.
I did, however, watch Pulp Fiction in High School, and I turned to my mom and said "it's Cowboy Curtis!!!" |

Margaret! I never forgot those performances because I never before saw those performances, and now - thanks to you - I may have nightmares!! |

I watched TEC. And now I can't believe I watched TEC. But that PeeWee thing really made me want to put my eyes out with acid.

I loved The Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact and shunned Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street.  But all I remember from the first two shows are SpiderMan and The Bloodhound Gang.
Hmmmmm.... wonder if that's on Youtube?

I hated EC, never heard of 321, Mr. Rogers gave me nightmares (them damned shriveled-head puppets and the dinging trolley) and loved Sesame Street and Zoom.

321Contact was this great science based show, I loved it. Zoom apparently didn't come on in our market, or else I just never happened to have watched it. But I enjoyed the newer version that started coming on a few years ago.

Pulp Fiction? I feel old. I saw Street Smart (1987, Freeman with Christopher Reeve) and thought, "There's the guy from The Electric Company."
The best parts of The Electric Company were the segments featuring Fargo North, Decoder. |

My sister was the big TEC fan. I just sent her the Season 6 intro credits. Thanks for the trip back!
Guess what I spotted at Toys R Us tonight? The INCH WORM! | |
