And now I'm a groovy Electric Company kid who is older and therefore taller and stuff, I suppose. Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader? Rita Moreno doing just about anything? Don't even get me started on how much I loved to watch this show, I'll take up all your time.
This was one of my favorite bits-- Let's delve into the "ch" sound, shall we?

That's just too cool for words. I was an Electric Company fan as well... grew up into that after Mr. Rogers N'hood and Sesame Street. Right before i segued into the ZOOM years.
Do you know ZOOM, Anne?
Ubbi-Dubbi. Fannee Doollee. "The Cat Came Back"

Ohhhh I looooovvvvveeeeddd that show!!! I learned how to read watching that and Sesame Street. I started kindergarten and already had reading mastered. My parents had no idea- see it is good to park your kids in front of the TV for hours on end- just make sure to keep the channel on PBS...
zoom, electric company, mr. rogers, sesame street, forget about it.
chill'uns television has never been as good since: barney et al can suck it.
Electric Company had Spider-Man and Road Runner. That made it the dope show in my world at the time. (Don't remember that? You weren't watching closely enuff)
Do you remember NEW ZOO REVIEW? Creepy 70's camp, ya'll!
oh new zoo! you've inspired a post, mr. battle..
Good times, good times. Looks like we're all from the same era.
