I was born in January, 1970 and among countless influences that buoyed my childhood years was The Electric Company - an educational show that aired on PBS stations. The Electric Company was for older kids than the Sesame Street set - a show that also played a part in the media exposure of my young life. The Electric Company was the best - and Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader was my favorite. Here he is as the consummately cool Easy Reader along with Rita Moreno as "Carmela." They don't make childrens' television like this anymore. YouTube.

What does that mean?
Have neither of you seen Shawshank Redemption?
The first time I saw him in a movie, musta been "Teachers" in about 1984, I just about stood up and shouted, "Hey...That's Easy Reader!!"
Thanks for the trip down tv memory lane.
