Lovely Rita

I rented the Best of the Electric Company DVD from my library. I really enjoyed this show growing up as a kid. There weren't too many latin faces that people could relate to when you were a kid. Its not like today where you have Dora the Explorer but even that is watered down. There was always Maria and that Mexican guy who were on Sesame Street but I they were too white washed for me. I enjoyed watching Luis Avelo and of course Rita Moreno who loved to camp it up on the show. I used to also watch Carascolendas and Villa Alegre which sadly, there is no existence of on the Web.

Getting back to the Electric Company, it definetely brought back alot of memories watching those episodes seeing Easy Reader, J Arthur Crank, Letterman (as in "Letter Man") but to be quite honest with you, the real reason I took out the DVD was to watch Rita Moreno.

I had this huge crush on her when I was growing up as a kid. To me, she was the first puerto rican hottie I ever saw. Looking back when she played the goldilocks character named Pandora on the show, that was pretty kinky (I wonder if she ever dressed up that way for her husband???). There's this one part where she does a song and dance number as Tina Turner in a mini skirt with the Short Circus , remember them? Looking back now, I can imagine there were alot of dads who also tuned in to that show. "Joo know wadda mean?"

ET the 'tard

So what do you on a quiet Sunday night when you can't go anywhere and you're taking care of the kid?

You watch Robot Chicken on Youtube (my new buddy)of course!
