Byron19 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I would bet that's from "The Electric Company", which was what you watched after you were done with Sesame Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Bill Cosby wearing Bengals helmet in about 1978. Fancy pants with his fancy Burberry scarf. Way to go, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Bill Cosby wearing Bengals helmet in about 1978. It poses this question...How long till Chad Johnson starts giving pudding pops to defenders he just burned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I would bet that's from "The Electric Company", which was what you watched after you were done with Sesame Street.Featuring an unknown (to my 5-year-old mind, anyway) Morgan Freeman as "Easy Reader". Good stuff. We actually got to watch in school on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I thought of his framing sequences for Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids--mostly because of the scarf--but it could have been Electric Company.It was cool to find out years later that was Morgan freeman on EC...

Mac the Knife Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I would bet that's from "The Electric Company", which was what you watched after you were done with Sesame Street.Featuring an unknown (to my 5-year-old mind, anyway) Morgan Freeman as "Easy Reader". Good stuff. We actually got to watch in school on occasion. At the time he was pretty much unknown, period. Funny what can happen to someone in 25-30 years time.

Bleujayone Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Morgan Freeman as "Easy Reader":In addition to Cosby and Freeman, the cast also included Rita Moreno, Joan Rivers, Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel. Easy Reader, 'coz even pimps should be able to read.Hey, you guys!Actually the picture you see there isn't Morgan Freeman playing Easy Reader, but rather Morgan Freeman playing DJ Mel Mounds. Easy Reader had a much shorter haircut, and wore a brown leasuire suit or a brown jogger suit covered with various badges on his jacket. (Dear God, I just dated myself!) Easy Reader ? Segments featuring the title character, played by Morgan Freeman, teaching words of the day. Often associated with Val the librarian (Hattie Winston) after 1973). His name is a pun based on Easy Rider.Easy Reader, That's My Name- I say Uh-Uh-huhEasy Ready, That's My Game- I say Uh-Uh-huhTop to bottom and left to right that readin' is really outta sightEasy Reader That's My Name- I say Uh....Uh-huh....................................CTW has announced that The Best of The Electric Company will be coming to DVD in February 2006.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AA4F2...8-7257668?n=130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minus5 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The Bill Cosby picture came from a local Cincinnati icon. Bob Shreve (local legend in Cincinnati) hosted a show called The Past Prime Playhouse and one night Cosby dropped by and spent the rest of the night on the air with Bob.
