Lost Electric Company Footage
Well, you realy can't call this footage lost because it is right here. But, it is clearly not a color video tape presentation of the skit. Instead, it is a bloack and white kinetoscope copy (a 16mm copy of the video master) which leads me to believe that some of the color masters of episodes of the series have been lost to history. (Or, they could simply not have been released from the vaults in any form) I do remember seeing this skit on PBS in the early 1980's so perhaps an original master copy of it does exist somewhere. Who knows. Anyway, I dig finding old television rarities so here is a cool clip of Morgan Freeman singing.
