This week-end I saw a DVD for sale, containing episodes of the old "The Electric Company" children's program that I enjoyed watching as a boy. I had totally forgotten about "The Adventures of Letterman" segments which that show featured, and was happy to be reminded of them! So today I went onto YouTube and found a number of Electric Company and Sesame Street videos, featuring cartoons which I haven't even thought about in 30 years probably! Here's a great old segment from Sesame Street:
I wonder how my scant intelligence would have been further impaired, if I hadn't watched cartoons such as this. I suppose that we take the lessons learned in childhood for granted. Some of the music heard in these videos are reminiscent of songs appreciated by adults in the 1970's, lyrical melodies which are immediately enjoyable the first time that you hear them.
There are a ton more of these segments on YouTube, and it's so incredible to see them again. Here are a few more of my favorites, and I highly recommend looking through YouTube for more!
"Rolling Ball 1-2-3"
"E... See Me"
"King of 8"
