Does anyone remember "The Electric Company"?
No, I don't mean the people who keep your lights turned on. I'm talking about a kids show that aired from 1971-1977.
The show taught spelling to children. It was so entertaining, children who normally didn't enjoy reading were drawn in by the fun skits and bright graphics.
Morgan Freeman was one of the main characters and my favorite. I love the funky clothes he wore.
Bill Cosby was a regular. I saw a documentary on PBS the other night about the show. It turns out Bill Cosby did the show for his thesis. He was working on his masters at the time.
