... able to leap Capital T in a single bound... it's a word... it's a plan... it's LetterMan (with Joan Rivers doing the narration!)
OMG does this bring back memories! Unfortunately I don't have Noggin on my basic cable, but they did a preview a few years back with about two hours' worth of EC highlights, and I made sure I taped that puppy!
Along with Sesame Street, Zoom and all the others (remember Carrascolendas? Now there's a blast from the past for some of you!), these shows made learning fun. The Electric Company especially brought phonics to life with all of the songs and skits. And just look at that talent roster: Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby, Rita Moreno, Irene Cara, not to mention all the memorable characters they created!
Favorite song? Hmmmm... how about "See Sam, See Sam sit, See Sam sit in the sun, See Sam sit in the sun sipping soda". Or maybe "If I had an ING, I'd go on a flING..." I also liked their skit on WAS and IS, with everyone dumping garbage and whipped cream on the WAS (with Rita Moreno's little girl character commenting, "That WAS a very nice WAS!")
Okay, I'm probably scaring a lot of you right now, so I'll stop here and go visit Romper Room and the New Zoo Revue!
