Do you think "Reading Rainbow" should be rebooted?

Bring this back!!!😢 As a person who lived through no kid left behind era and struggled through school...this did nothing but allow slackers to go through the cracks with bare minimum only hurting education. These talented people provided a great service and I appreciate it.

It was a pleasure that this show ran until 2006.

100% lifetime fan of Reading Rainbow

I❤reading 🌈 rainbow ..🎶.I can go anywhere, take a look it's in a book, a reading rainbow 🌈 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Reading Rainbow was my favorite show as a kid and I loved reading still do. This brings me back 40 years I can still hear the opening song in my head 😊

It should be rebooted. I would listen to it for sure. It is great to discover new books that is unknown. Or be a great idea for a gift for a child

I still miss watching Reading Rainbow, The Puzzle Place, Shining Time Station, Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? and Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego? The Kidsongs TV Show, Zoboomafoo, Sagwa The Chinese Siamese Cat, Wimzie's House, Maya and Miguel, It's A Big Big World, Sid The Science Kid, Plaza Sesamo, George Shrinks, Elliot Moose, Boohbah, Wishbone, etc. 🎥🎥🎥🎬🎬🎬📺☹️☹️☹️☹️

Reading Rainbow was amazing

I LOVE this show. I grew up watching it as a kid, and that theme song, I could listen to it over and over again. These types of shows, including Mr. Roger's Neighborhood just don't seem to be getting made anymore, which I feel is a shame.

I heard some of my favorite books on Reading Rainbow! Goodnight Moon, Honey I Love! That was the show!!!

That was a great idea back then

Was a great show better then what they got out now for kids😮

I watched Reading rainbow as a kid and it needs to be revisited.

Reading rainbow was a wonderful program to watch when I was a kid.

Levar was the perfect host for the show...he has such a warm calm personality and he seemed like a dad to the viewers.😊😊

I was born in 99. I was only 7 when it this show was cancelled but vividly remember watching it as a child. No doubt my love for reading spawned from the rainbow. They need this back

Reading is very important a person must be able to comprehend what they have read, and book must have a significant amount of information, knowledge and understanding, to make it possible to want a person to want to read a book also it should be relevant to the reader. Reading Rainbow, was a great show for children. Just because they are not in school during the summer they should still have a certain amount of hours to read a book, a magazine article or something to keep their reading minds stay in tuned. All children should have scheduled assignments given by their parents during the summer to maintain their reading habits. That’s why the recreation centers are so missed. We need them back.

I remember watching the episode with Jane's Earl Jones reading "Bringing The Rain to Kapiti Plain," and the following week, going to my school book fair and seeing it there. Needless to say that that was the book o chose to take home with me that day.

Reading Rainbow and Mister Rogers Neighborhood are my favorites from PBS

I really enjoyed this series and I wish we could bring it back but unfortunately, we cannot. If we could I know we would have a fantastic run of programs to follow and show how awesome this all would be. ❣️😁

I was 23 when RR premiered and had no children. Hearing that Lavar was hosting I was curious. I was hooked from day 1 and watched it with my children later on.

I feel sorry for all the kids who have been deprived of the wonderfulness that was "Reading Rainbow" for the past 18 years!

This was such a great video! I really remember the theme song but couldn’t recall what the show was exactly about. A lot of fascinating facts were shared here!

I loved the reading rainbow 🌈 as a kid, it was great

Yes!!!!! Reboot this show! I loved it as a kid, (and I'm now I'm a lifelong bookworm ), AND it got me into STNG based on Geordie alone.

Reading Rainbow was a wonderful show. I was a little to old but watched it with younger siblings cousins and kids I babysat. I am a natural bibliophile but my son isn't. He's ADHD and on the Spectrum. I read to him all the time and we watched Reading Rainbow

No kid left behind act was totally useless. But, this show was so awesome and needs to come back.

I remember Reading Rainbow although I never watched every episode I remembered when I was a kid when I did watch it it was a great thing to have and it was very educational at the same time especially when it was to promote and encourage children to read more. I remember back when I was a kid watching that show every now and then on PBS how I looked forward to some of the books that they were showing and reading and what was shown in the segment it really got the child's attention and education and open-mindedness to what the whole point of the series was about in general educationally.

I miss that show I grew up with it as a kid and it'd be nice if PBS would bring that show back or something similar to it because I believe that it would be able to help kids like my son improve their reading skills

Troy Barnes: (crying) Reading Rainbow 😂

I always wondered how Levar did that! I remember that episode on Enterprise!

There are quite a few episodes of this show that I don't remember, particularly from its first five seasons. Some of my favorites were "Little Nino's Pizzeria" from Season 7 (1989), and several episodes from Season 11 (1993). As I wasn't born until 1997, most of the series I saw only in reruns and as such, did not know about the original version of the title sequence used from its beginning in 1983 through '99 until many years later. Only the final 25 episodes originally aired during my lifetime, though some of the last ten released between 2004 and '06 I can't seem to remember. "Visiting Day" (Season 20 Episode 1) is an exception to this for several other reasons, including being the only episode of the series to have the "Y7" syndication rating. For unknown reasons, the PBS affiliates where I live (WNET and CPTV) only continued airing the show in reruns until 2008, instead of '09 like some other markets did.

If the theme song doesn't instantly start playing when I reach them pearly gates, I don't want no part of that chief.

Maybe "Rainbow" could be rebooted as a app or podcast.

I was that kid that didn't mind reading in front of the class when the teacher called on me.

Even the app itself is not the same as the TV Show. The show was canceled for a ridiculous reason in which they say that the show was not being educational. If they really did need money then they would have started a crowdfunding campaign. Hope the show returns soon

Where can you watch this?I can still sing the theme song to this day.bReading Rainbow should be rebooted. Loved this show when I was a kid, also loved Wishbone!

My childhood here. They screwed us when they pulled the show. #BringBackReadingRainbow

I read every book I saw.

I'll Never Forgive The Goddang Bush Administration For cancelling Reading Rainbow that show got me Into reading during my formative years and the 2000's fucking sucked

64th

Although I loved this show as a child, as an adult I discovered that Lavar Burton is compromised and I wont be letting my children watch this.
