And Reading Rainbow will go down in history for having one of the top 10 theme song/openings of all-time. Watch that trippy **** above and try to tell me that it didn't take you higher for a quick second. You can thank Reading Rainbow for getting you buzzed for the first time. Oh, ****. RR was a gateway drug. Tears. It will be missed.

Reading Rainbow on the Enterprise?! If someone had started whipping him and called him Toby, my brain would've exploded.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Man I just got all nostalgic for some Reading Rainbow.

PBS Ends Run Of LeVar Burton’s Reading Rainbow August 28, 2009

by Anthony Pascale , Filed under: Celebrity, TNG , trackback

Reading Rainbow, the PBS children’s show that Star Trek The Next Generation’s LeVar Burton hosted since 1983, airs for the last time today. The show that won two dozen Emmys will end up being the third longest series in PBS history.




Butterfly in the sky, Reading Rainbow goodbye
According to a report at NPR, Reading Rainbow is ending because it cannot get funding to renew the broadcast rights, apparently the result of changing priorities. From the NPR report:

… the decision to end Reading Rainbow can also be traced to a shift in the philosophy of educational television programming. The change started with the Department of Education under the Bush administration, he explains, which wanted to see a much heavier focus on the basic tools of reading — like phonics and spelling.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I thought it was cancelled back then?
I remembered tuning in to PBSkids and it had Mister Rogers instead of Reading Rainbow.

Well, let's be honest. How many of us actually still watch PBS?

Only when I'm high.

 

[Prison Mike]

we used to watch this show every Friday afternoon in 1st grade. Good times.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

The show was good because not only did it educate, but it did it without talking down to kids like they were idiots.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Damn, another cool PBS show for kids going down the drain.

 

[Anubis]

Honestly, I had no idea they were still making new episodes.

 

[Watson]

But how will I learn to go twice as high?

But how will I learn to go twice as high?

Well you could ask King Randor for help, don't go to orko though he would just do some magic and then steal your food.

 

[Mee]

King Randor was high as a KITE.

Put me on the bandwagon of people who didn't know this show was still on. I loved it as a kid, but I thought it was canceled a long time ago. I liked that theme song though. Even the manliest of men sing that song. I caught Chuck Norris and Mr. T humming it after thew blew that bar up that one time.
