Electric Company
I got this from Boing Boing, but I had to give this Electric Company site another shout-out. Not only does it offer many of the great funk & psychedelic songs from the show (including some by Tom Lehrer and Morgan Freeman), but it also has a quicktime of my favorite children’s show bit ever, Counting Pinball. Watching it now, I find the style and music reminiscent of Fantastic Planet.

More Nostalgia
Coutesy of vector , it’s the The Electric Company Videos! Who knew Morgan Freeman was one of the cast members? It’s amazing all the memories these old video clips unlock for me….

I just showed this to an Israeli woman. (She’d never heard of it; apparently, they didn’t do an international release like with Sesame Street.) I think I raised our culture a notch higher in her esteem.
I love hearing Joan Rivers saying, “Will we have to have owls for pets?”
