'Reading Rainbow' Reaches Its Final Chapter : NPR

This sucks.

Reading Rainbow is getting cancelled. We have a country addicted to TV and internet, watching reality bullcrap or chatting online in text-speak with little ability to think or write coherently, and the powers that be at PBS - using Bush Administration "logic" no less - decides to cancel the show.

Granted, I was a bit old of a kid already when the show came on the scene, but that didn't mean it wasn't interesting, useful, and - more importantly - fun to it's target audience.

And now it's gone. I can't even share it with my kid in a few years.

Thanks for nothing.
