My flickr set of the Typography of the Electric Company, part 1.
Not only was The Electric Company (1971-1977) a hugely successful show aimed at improving kid's reading skills, with a stellar cast including Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman, and Rita Moreno, psychedelic early video effects, and funky music, but it was a program in love with letters. Every episode was filled with various type and lettering, and I believe it planted a seed in my mind that would flourish years later as a love of lettering and found typography. Enjoy!
