Reading Rainbow has been canceled after 26 years of being on air with PBS. Reading Rainbow was the third longest running show on PBS after Sesame Street and Mister Robers' Neighborhood. Hosted by Levar Burton, Reading Rainbow influenced children (such as myself!) to see the magic in reading books!

Here's the original theme song for Burton's Reading Rainbow:

    I haven't watched Reading Rainbow in years, but it's sad that shows like that which are meant to encourage children to read are being canceled. Literacy is such an important thing to teach children. Otherwise you end up with a bunch of illiterate text speakers.

    I'm not sure that I remember watching that show. But after hearing you tell what its about, and watching that clip- I feel bad that they are canceling it. Why would they? And question - DO you know why they are canceling it? I mean, the younger kids in society need to learn about the joys of reading. And literature of course. And as Puck says, we don't want all of them to become illiterate texting teens when they get older. There are already too many of those unfortunately *sigh*.
