It's only syndication at this point, right?

I used to watch it all the time, they had some cool stuff... Like the tour of the library of Congress.

Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high. Take a look, it's in a book. A reading rainbow. I can go anywhere. Friends to know and ways to grow. A reading rainbow. I can be anything. Take a look, it's in a book. A reading rainbow. A reading rainbow. A reading rainbow. A reading rainbow. A reading rainbow.

I saw it a few weeks ago... the intro thing is different. I remember a butterfly flying around with a rainbow coming out of it. I don't remember what the new intro looks like.

Reading Rainbow could be cancelled?

The Daytime Emmys, held at Radio City Music Hall, expanded to three hours for the first time on its 30th anniversary. Brady was the host.

After PBS's Reading Rainbow was named best children's series for the seventh time, executive producer LeVar Burton pleaded for its survival. He said it might be the show's last year if more funding isn't found.

"If you are a wealthy philanthropist out there, I'm not that difficult to find," Burton said.
