1968 here. I'm not sure why, but The Electric Company resonated with me much more than Sesame Street. I was in awe of Morgan Freeman and his sonorous voice.
Years later, I remember seeing him start to get traction in Hollywood and thought, "Hey! That's the guy from the Electric Company!"

- technothrasher 5y agoI was 1971, so a few years younger than you folks. For some reason The Electric Company scared the crap out of me, especially the creepy Spider-man segments. My older brother liked it, so we would watch it. But I had to watch Mr. Rogers afterward just to calm myself down. Obviously I grew out of being scared of it, but by the time I did I'd moved on to other shows.
