It looks like we've really reached the end of the rainbow. There are reports that after 26 years, PBS' Reading Rainbow will be off-air starting this week. The show stopped production a few years ago, but they were showing the old episodes on PBS. But PBS' contract with the show expires on Friday and they aren't renewing it. This means LeVar Burton will no longer be there to gently stroke our soul by reading a story about a flying pony or a happy mushroom. Yeah.
And Reading Rainbow will go down in history for having one of the top 10 theme song of all-time. Watch their trippy intro below and try to tell me that it didn't take you higher for a quick second. You can thank Reading Rainbow for getting you buzzed for the first time. It will be missed.
