Truly Dreadful Film

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I was ten in 1974. That is really the year I started to dig EC. I thought Joan Rivers was super when she announced Letterman as being "faster than a rolling "o".....stronger than the silent "e" ...able to leapa capital "T" in a single bound". That jazzy Latin American number "Punctuation" was my favorite Electric Company tune. Victor Borge, the famous punctuation "teacher", was cool with that vocalized question mark and period (pop!!) thing. Most children in my second-grade class preferred the Electric Company over Sesame Street hands down. I thought the Love of Chair thing a little stupid. Who did the "Freddy's Free Fruit" skit? I do wish EC continued on TV. A few parts I thought dumb, but the Joe Raposo music was groovy!!!

This was my favorite TV show ever, tied with The Bullwinkle show.I would get home from work, open a beer, and watch the late-afternoon showing, giggling all the way.Aburdist comedy, plus reading instruction. What more could you want? Superb acting? Bread on Morgan Freeman's table before the world recognized him as a great actor? Rita Moreno's movie director, the Fiddler on the chair sketch, Mel Brooks saying "That doesn't swing!", the "Everyone has Pain" song.WHEN will this come out on DVD? Is it showing anywhere in the US? Will the old record ever come out on CD?

I watched every episode of "The Electric Company" with my children. When they got too "old" for the genre, I had occasion to watch it by myself-this led to a lot of teasing, but I thought "Dracula" and "Easy Reader" were just great. Today I was surfing the Children's TV Show Archives, and naturally clicked on "Electric Company." DEJEVU! Morgan Freeman was the actor portraying my favorite (vicariously enjoyed) characters! The first time I saw Morgan Freeman in my adult life was in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." He looked sooo familiar, but I just couldn't place him! What a rush! ...life has come full-circle for me. A fan of this man all my life-and I never realized it! What a treat!

The Electric Company has returned on Noggin, Nickelodeon's "other" station. I catch it in the wee hours of the morning. It's great to watch, even at 27. I'm going to record the episodes so that my kids can see them, too!Check your local listings (if you have Noggin) for times.
