I remember the Electric Company. When I saw Easy Rider, I thought he was the coolest man ever!. Now, that I am older and seen Easy Rider become one of the best actors I have ever seen, I am proud to have seen this show. Easy Rider was the reason why my brother picked up a book because he wanted to be cool like him. Funny how things change and what kids think is cool now.
yesterday this video had 332k ... so some are global watchers... hope they are intelligent too. and not kids... don't dis morgan on my watch. He's pro actor. everyone starts somewhere.
this make the internet legit... its the only way we would all see this... 8 track tapes... cassettes ... all died... vhs...
but this is here on the internet. He must love this. His first job and he was getting paid guys so you wish you had that job back then.
Don't dis on this performance. He was the VAMPIRE on electric Company. and did a great job back then and perfected his craft to become one of the greatest actors of our time.
Award shows are basically pointless to watch (it is all advertising for movies that I will never watch) but I sit there for three hours watching away BECAUSE there is always that one moment that is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS... AND THIS IS IT!!! When he starts scrubing his leg I DIED LMAO!
@Gamecrazy009 he got the award for a reason ... they only showed this so us that are old enough to remember it .. can put it into context. He didn't just pop out as a star he has been around for generations.
One of the best actors in Hollywood and a professional. They all started somewhere. And we all love him as the vampire in a casket. Don't we?
congratulations Morgan Freeman for a lifetime of achievements. Some that even kids that post here don't know about until now. LOVE
This is going to go Global and viral now. Morgan will wish he never did this by tomorrow night. LOL, I bet this video has a million views by morning. Morgan Freeman was awesome even back in his early days. Love this.
@PiratePowell I was in total shock when I saw this last night. But I guess early in your career you have to start somewhere. It was good to see him in something lighthearted.
Am really getting hooked on designing the dracula,, ive only just started with one art pic,and sold quite a few already, i now have my own online shop. love to hear anyone's comments regarding my dracula pic, alot more to come in the near future, you can find my online store here cafepress/jmcks. thanks guys.
@PorkIsHalal They don't have the guts to. Too many soccer moms and moral guardians would freak over this (they already did with Katy Perry and that dress she wore on Sesame Street. This would cause a coronary). And you know what I'd say: let 'em. Yeah, it's creepy and a little weird, but kids in their learning phase wouldn't understand until they're older.
The first time I saw this, me and my friend were super high looking at morgan freeman on youtube (because Half Life and another show he's in) And we came across this. We tripped out hard and I love this video ever since.
@DefendedHomestand Don't try to find any logic in this. It's supposed to be for kids, but then again, that's what I always thought about the Looney Tunes cartoons, and both this and the LT cartoons spelled the end of the innocent side of my childhood. R.I.P (1985 to 2011).
@The4EverYoung85 lol I was kidding. I had the same thought patterns as a kid, finding something that wouldnt add up or make sence at all. It was entertaining for me. Guess I gave it another go at this one. lol I know the electric company is for kids! who else would it be for?
I can't believe no one brought up the fact that PBS got away with this, yet they censored out Katy Perry appearing on Sesame Street because of that dress she wore (which, yes, was a tad risque, but not enough to warrant a ban). Is this a case of censorship becoming more stringent between the 1970s and the 21st century or your typical double standard between men and women?
@The4EverYoung85 Things are just more stringent then they were in the 70s. Go look up the animated TEC skit Happy Birthday Miss Jones. Then there's all the G-rated moives from then and earlier that actually showed adults smoking and drink. And let's not forget what they did to Cookie Monster.
@JamiJR I knew it. This is why I love the cartoons and TV shows of yesteryear (though there are a few today that thumb their nose at censorship -- or try to, at least).
Kristen Stewart/Bella couldn't handle this vamp. Lets take vampires back from the Mormon's and make them sexy and dangerous again. No more of the sparkly, impotent, I need to knock door to door before we can make out type. The best thing we have is the UK (original) version of Being Human. Dude is no Blacula but has a troubled INXS vibe.
i never knew that morgan freemen was dracula in TEC, until i looked this up here. i use to watch this show all the time when i was 5, and morgan as dracula use to scare the shit out of me. i do not know why, but hey! i was 5.
Morgan Freeman wasn't the only person who portrayed Dracula. There were also other actors who played the vampire character, like Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Jack Palance, Frank Langella and Gary Oldman.
