this Onion story in which Levar Burton ostensibly comes clean about what it was like to work on the show for 26 years, including fond comments like this one:
At 25 years old, when the opportunity to earn a regular paycheck working on a children's show came along, it seemed like a pretty damn good idea. I was dead, dead wrong. Little did I know the next quarter century of my life would be an unrelenting blur of excruciating trips to some of the most boring places on earth. Apiaries, steam trains, old mills—every week they sent me to a fresh hellhole, and every week I had to interview the dullest people imaginable.

That's funny.....
I loved Reading Rainbow when I was little. I never really stopped loving it, and when I was much older I used to watch it when I was home for a sick day. It's too bad it has to go away.
I cannot believe this show was canceled! It really helped me get into reading, and I was even one of those kids at the end of the show "If you liked this book, I recommend ..." Thanks for the post!
