The Electric Company (1971–1977)
Hey Youse Guys! LOL!
4 March 2001
I loved this show as a kid! Esp the Adventures of Letterman(he was voiced by Gene Wilder-!, and it was narrated by Joan Rivers-!!-boys the things you find out here at IMDB)-which had the rather non-PC villainous Arab guy in each one. That segment of the show was the best.

Easy Reader everyone remembers, to me as a kid he had a kinda forboding look to him-nowadays Morgan Freeman conveys the same vibes in anything he touches. He was good then too.

I always enjoyed the little animated segments showing the little guy who would come up beneath a sign and begin t-o s-o-u-n-d i-t o-u-t. Then something BAD would happen-say a giant would almost get him or a pig would land on him, etc. Fun stuff of course.

And of course, we got a kick in the family outta 'Spidey', the dancing Rooster and 'Cool Pool Fool'.

Def. a show for the ages, it's sad they didn't make it for longer or run it more.

As it is, it was made '71-77 and ran til '82, so it's run wasn't exactly short. Just to those of us growing up with it.

Better than Stresme Street too.

*** outta **** of course.
