Boy, did I love this show! I always wished they would put it back on television. I never forgot it in the more than 20 years since I watched it as a child. I credit it with teaching me how to read better than any teacher could have done alone and also with instilling in me a love of reading that has never gone away. Morgan Freeman has had a stellar acting career but to me he will always be Easy Reader first and foremost.
My prayers have been answered.
For those of you who have Comcast Digital cable there is a channel called Noggin that shows nothing but children's educational shows. One of them is the Electric Company. Perhaps other cable packages have this channel, I don't know. I am thoroughly enjoying watching the old bits and am anticipating bits which I have yet to see again (like the Silent e song and "It's the plumber. I've come to fix the sink.").
Somebody who posted here wanted to know other lyrics to the LY song:
"You're wearing your squeaky shoes. When sitting there taking a snooze is a tiger, so how do you walk on by? Silently, silently, silent- ly"
"At a pie eating contest you boast, that you can eat the most. How do you down your 50th piece of pie? Eagerly, eagerly, eager- ly"
"You're walking down the street, when you happen to meet a porcupine. How do you shake his hand when he says hi? Carefully, carefully, careful-ly."
I feel sorry that some of my favorite performers on the show did not seem to have as successful acting careers as Morgan Freeman. I hoped that I would see them again
