If you’re on the A or C line in Brooklyn, everything is messed up this weekend. The MTA has to replace a 71-year-old piece of railbed, and that means major service disruptions.

Meanwhile, the rest of your subway service advisories are much the same as they have been. No 7 service; weird West and East Side service on the IRT; yadda, yadda, yadda.
But to get you through your weekend subway blues, Second Ave. Sagas presents yet another trip down memory lane. In this classic clip from 1970s TV staple The Electric Company, Morgan Freeman – yes, The Morgan Freeman – bemoans that “nobody loves the subway.” It’s brilliant.
