Today is the airing of the last new Reading Rainbow on PBS.  I understand their decision, but still sad…

I guess LeVar Burton needs to pray for a new Next Generation movie…

    Wiki says, “The theme was sung by Tina Fabrique. The original opening, which depicted a cartoon butterfly transforming the surroundings of young children reading books into cartoon fantasylands, was used until 1999. Later episodes used a new opening with the same theme song performed by R&B legend Chaka Khan.”

    Chaka Khan?!? Awesome. I mean, the original version is awesome, but Chaka Khan?!? And I can’t find her version on the interwebs…. : (

    Sesame Street. Reading Rainbow. 3-2-1 Contact. Commander Mark (a drawing show). Square One (Mathnet!).

    It’s blowing my mind how important those shows were in shaping my interests.

    I guess Egon was right.
