This is odd news, because the adults who are excited about it are too old to actually watch the show, and children don’t even know what books are (“imagine a bunch of Kindles on a shelf”), but Reading Rainbow might be coming back? Yay?

  1. Whatever you say, Gabe. I’ll just take your word for— GAH! I can’t do it! Too easy!

  2. It’ll never compete with Texting Rainbow.

  3. LINK! LINK! LINK!

  4. It only went off the air in 2006. Coming back? It’s like Jay-Z coming back from retirement…you knew it wasn’t gonna last

  5. The theme song should be left as is. You don’t mess with perfection. Or Texas. Or the Zohan.

  6. I’ll wait for Reading Rainbow: Los Angeles (nothing but industry mags).

  7. I’ll just force my kids to watch it like I’m gonna have to force them to read.

  8. This is great news. You know what else is great news, Justin Beiber’s 2nd CD is out: My World 2.0 Here is the first line from the Washington Post Review:

    “If we truly want the best for America’s children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber.”

    Thank YOU Washington Post for recognizing the best.

  9. if they want anyone to pay attention to this they’ll have to market it as Reading Hairbow

  10. It’s super hard to read the Velveteen Rabbit through my Geordi La Forge visor, yo.

  11. Yesterday in lecture my friend whispered to me that she once dressed up as Wishbone for Halloween.


    I guess what I’m trying to say is more Wishbone please.

  12. We’ve been without Reading Rainbow for four years. I think it’s easy to understand why someone would (mis)interpret the steady and accelerating deterioration of society these last four years as a lack of LeVar Burton directing us to our local library (when it’s really the increasing proximity to 2012). People gotta feel like they can have an impact.

  13. Speaking of Reading Rainbow, these are awesome: http://FunnyOrDie.com/m/3nbv. I may be late with this one, but whatever…

  14. Was Reading Rainbow part of anyone else’s school curriculum? The teachers would take all us childrens from all the classes into one big room where we would sit reverently on our pockets and watch reverently with our eyes as the mysteries of books and dinosaur bones were unraveled. yeah? anyone else?
