The Electric Company
The IMDB of this show is wild. Mel Brooks. Zero Mostel.
Morgan Freeman had never looked young in any old school picture I’ve seen.
Fantastic show!!

And the worlds most famous rapist
I was in 4th grade and they took my class to another room to watch an episode. Our teacher wanted us to take notes as we watched…..I didn’t take notes.
I LOVED the electric company!! So much cooler than sesame street
Rita Moreno did win an Oscar in ’61
Oh no 💊Cosby
I loved watching the Spider-Man segments.
God Rita was/is so beautiful. Watch the documentary on Netflix. She’s been to hell and back but still vivacious
Morgan Freeman will always be Easy Reader to me.
Always loved the “haunted house” episode of the Bloodhound Gang. Which probably played every third or fourth episode. And was a big ripoff of period horror movie The Changeling.
Still great kids material though.
They weren’t “unknown”. What are you, 15?
Unknown Rita Moreno? Nope, there’s a reasons she’s front and center even with Bill Cosby in the shot.
ummm…Rita Moreno was in West Side Story
Rita Moreno was not unknown when she was on The Electric Company.
She was well known and had a freaking Oscar for West Side Story.
Rita Moreno had already won an Oscar for West Side Story.
Too bad Morgan Freeman hates his time on this show. No idea why. He helped a generation of children to read.
Rita Moreno was not an “unknown” at the time. She had already been *huge*:
“Moreno’s performance as Anita in the 1961 musical (“West Side Story”) earned her an Academy Award for best supporting actress.”
“The Electric Company” debuted in 1971.
Who posts these things? The dates are always off. I guess they want the traffic from people like me coming on to correct their mis-statements. I should stop being their patsy.
