...I didn't even know it was still running.
I remember watching that when I was a wee lad...then a few years later,
when I got into ST:TNG, never made the Geordi/Reading Rainbow connection
'til I found out a few years after that, and my mind was blown. As
Keanu Reeves puts it, I was like, "Whoah".

Did you also make helpless gestures by waving your hands?

"Grant says the funding crunch is partially to blame, but 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."
The Bush legacy lives on...
WTF? The show was replaced by the totally obnoxious "Between the Lions"?
The show is a complete Simpsons ripoff. They're constantly ribbing each
other and denigrating the "intelligent and culturally-sensitive young
female", ala Lisa Simpson. Two of their main recurring sketches,
("Chicken Jane" and "Cliff Hanger") center around making fun of people
in helpless situations. Are these really the types of values we should
be teaching our kids?

And if you're a bit older (OMG I'm 40!), you might recall that he also
played the part of the young "Kunta Kinte" in "Roots". I should watch that
again, speaking of which...
