And you know you loved LeVar Burton because he was that cool dude with the funky sunglasses on Star Trek -
I didn't know too many people that watched this show when I was younger but I loved it. I got so excited when it used to come on and I sang along to the theme song too! Yeah, huge dork! But I didn't care! Are there any shows about reading and books on now? I hope so because Reading Rainbow filled a void in programming and for a book geek like me, it was an awesome show.
This is the theme song I remembered (total HR Puffinstuff if I ever saw it) -
I get all sorts of nostalgic fuzzies when I hear it! And see it!

I was so bummed when I heard this. I loved Reading Rainbow growing up!
Oh wow. Watching that video brought back memories. I LOVED reading rainbow when I was little. And, like you, I never knew anyone else who watched it. Reading Rainbow and Magic School Bus were my public programing crack as a child. Farewell LeVar Burton. I'll see you in Next Generation reruns.
Say it ain't so!!! I loved that show when I was little! That and Power Rangers. First generation Power Rangers. Man, I feel old. Did anyone else watch that? Remember how cool the Green Ranger was?!
Anyhoo, that song brought back a lotta memories. I didn't think I'd remember it, but once I heard the opening notes, it was like I was six YO sitting indian style in front of the tube again.
Funfact: I can rap the whole Fresh Prince theme song from memory! XD
