Title: Reading Rainbow
Post by: Tanda on June 04, 2008, 01:05:24 PM
Wednesday's Reading Rainbow was Ren Faire Based! Yay!
It was filmed in 1987 at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Aguora, CA.
It's my second favorite episode of Reading Rainbow. Squeee!

Neat! I remember having to watch those in elementary school when the weather was too crappy for us to go outside, or we had a substitute and she didn't really want to teach. Hehehehe.

I miss those good ol' shows. What's happened to TV these days?!

Man oh man I haven't watched that show in forever!  We used to watch it every Friday in elementary school.  Ages ago!

I remember when my daughter, Roxanne, was way young and I watched that show with her- one of the few things we watched on tv. Levar Burton was awesome. Does anyone know if it is still going?

I always had a hard time looking at Levar on Reading Rainbow. I always saw him saying Tobby be good slave with La Forge glasses covering his eys's

It's reruns...Channel 6 is in season four right now, and season 5 starts next week. My favorite episode is on next Wednesday (according to TVguide.com). It's the one where Levar goes on the set of Star Trek.
