OH MAN. Who remember's Reading Rainbow? I DO I DO!!
It is pretty sad that we had to have some random woman with a pleasing voice tell us books. They didn't even have the actual text on the tv screen. BUT I LOVED IT. It made "reading" so easy! Am I right?
Why read when someone can read to you and not have to turn the pictures back toward them to read the next sentence?
It is so simple!
Well, there is the commonly known theme song. (It's quite catchy)
Lets analyze it! WOO!
Lyrics:
Butterfly in the Sky,
I can go twice as high,
Take a look,
It's in a book,
A Reading Rainbowwwww.
I.....can go anywhere,
Friends to know,
And ways to grow,
A Reading Rainbowwwww.
I....can be anything,
Take a look,
It's in a book,
A reading Rainbow, Reading Rainbow, Reading Rainbow (reading rainbow)!!!
Ok, wow, that is JUICY.
Hmmm, a butterfly in the sky, I think thats just referring to what we see in the beginning, so lets move on.
"I can fly twice as high" Really? I CAN???? Apparently if i take a look, its in a book. I'm gonna go test that theory!
Ok. I apparently CAN'T fly twice as high as a butterfly(even though you don't exactly see butterflie from airplanes...)
"Friends to know, and ways to grow" Ok...what about them? Those had no intro. COOL.
And finally, "Reading Rainbow Reading Rainbow Reading Rainbow Reading Rainbow"
NEAT.
That was one of the most simple dissection of song lyrics i think this week!
But in all seriousness, that show did not help ANYONE, all it did was flatter our little "heartless" child brains, and made us think that we don't actually have to read, because the guy from star trek will tell us all about it!
K, that's all.
Peace

Reading Rainbow basically changed my life. It was like the "I'm allergic to dogs" version of wishbone...also a fantastic show. I watched that when I had my first date with a kid in preschool
