1. Bill Cosby

2. Morgan Freeman


I never knew Morgan Freeman was on this show. It will be interesting to see a young Bill cosby and Morgan Freeman on this 1970's PBS Kids Reading show


Anyone else Interested?

The more I thought about it, the more I want it, just because it was a show I watched all the time when I was little. It'll be cool to see those celebs from back then, but I'm mainly interested in it for the show itself.

Well I really want to see a young Morgan Freeman because I just remember him as an old guy since I saw him for the first time in 1989 on Lean On Me. Not old but in his 50's.

I really would not buy the Electric Company on DVD. It was decent when I was a kid. Solomon, I could have told you Morgan Freeman was on that. He had a nappy afro like Bill Cosby. LOL When I first saw Lean On Me, I said, that's the dude from the Electric Company. Of course, he was unknown back then. I also like the Spiderman segments on there.

I used to watch The Electric Company everyday in the desperate hope that they'd show a Spider-Man episode. When they advertised one in the coming attractions teaser for the next show, I was excited.

If they produced a DVD of all the Spider-Man shorts I would buy it.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but wasn't he also on Sesame Street back in the day (70s)? I mean Morgan Freeman. I remember him being a sign painter or something?

Well that just means you are not a fan of Bill Cosby or Morgan Freeman

Which is insane considering Cosby is the funniest man alive, and Freeman is perhaps the greatest actor alive.

Anyways, I'd like to see this show sometime.... but I don't have the money or time to get it on DVD.
they have a single-disc version, called "the Best of the Best of the Electric Company" for $12 - $15

Right, if Morgan is 68 in 2006, doesn't that mean he was in his 50's in 1989??????????????????????????????????????????????????

For me, buying a piece of my childhood for $50 is worth it. Of course, I would like to find it cheaper, but still, it was an awesome show. I loved it more than Sesame Street.

I tried to get into Cosby, but couldn't. I do like Morgan actually though, just not a #1 fan, I haven't seen him alot in too much of anything. He did a good job with the prologue for 2005's THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.

I mainly said what I said before because I'm just not willing to pay 50 bucks for a show I've never seen.... I'm up to my ears in DVDs that I have and/or want to get, anyway.

Solomon, another reason, even though it's from the same era, is to see Eddie the bully from Good Times in a different context, singing.
