The Electric Company was a 1970s CTW TV show that focused on teaching children phonics and reading. The cast included Lee Chamberlain, Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman, and Rita Moreno. Unfortunately I haven't captured any of the live segments yet, outside of the Short Circus.
The head writer of the show in later seasons was Tom Whedon, father of Joss Whedon,
the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Jim Thurman was another writer, and The Vice President of Production
was David D. Connell. Both later on became the Senior Producers for Square One TV.

I wanted to put in some of the live action Spiderman segments, but unfortunately they're too long and would be too big for space to allow.
