Easy Reader (aka Morgan Freeman) from the Electric Company--

With Rita Moreno! We didn't know back then the awesome talents who decided to teach us how to read and learn phonics and sound things out. I know I should be tickled with some of Morgan Freeman's recent serious roles, but for me, he won't do a thing cooler than Easy Reader. That was the bottom line of cool when I was a kid learning to read, and I'm still mightily enamoured.
