Reading Rainbow Arthur's Eyes pt 1

[mjosbronisback]

Thumbs up if you thought LaVar's actual name was Reading Rainbow.

This episode did air often in the '80s and '90s. I'm not sure why the existence of this episode would have become a myth.

[fortunateizzi]

I don't get it.. how could this have been "unaired" if we remember watching it?

[PinkStupidity]

I can't find where you replied to my comment on here, but you asked me what my first favorite episode was. My favorite one is when it's Levar's birthday. That one was the best!! And I also like the episode where Levar works in a diner and he can't understand the diner talk, and he gives someone a plate of rice with ice cubes on it, lol. Do you have any other episodes? Post more if you do, please!

[PinkStupidity]

Thank you so much for posting this!! This was my second favorite episode of Reading Rainbow, when I was a kid. I remember watching this back in the 80's and I loved it! I've been looking all over for it!! You really made my day with this video! I can't thank you enough for that!!!

@PinkStupidity You're welcome. By the way, what was your first favorite episode.

[munnonockspirit]

Golly I was so young when I saw this...

[violinplayer101]

I loved this show when I was growing up...It encouraged kids to read...I don't know about you all, but I would get a book from the library just because it was mentioned in a Reading Rainbow episode, lol :)

[MegaNFer81]

loved this show- way better than Wishbone in my opinion. Oh- weren't tjhe 80's great?

[Mak3rful]

BUtterflyes in the sky, i can be twice as high!

[kieranwnorman]

1:08 Sesame Street?

[MattBL]

@kieranwnorman Yeah. That's what I thought when I first saw it. It reminded me of it.

I thought that they used the same sets from the other show but it its not.

Nostalgia attack!

[LDtheBrachio]

i like how he has 4 of him-selfs talking.. or fighting with each other

[joeybognar]

O MY GOD. IF that doesn't bring back some memories!!

How Long Is The End Of This Tape Black screen and Static Screen?

[InvaderKiEMO]

I've never watched this show...so do they just like read books??

[MattBL]

@InvaderKiEMO Actually, it teaches kids why it is important to read. If SESAME STREET and THE ELECTRIC COMPANY (1971 - 1977) teaches kids HOW to read, then READING RAINBOW teaches kids WHY to read (and the importance of it).

[InvaderKiEMO]

@MattBL Well then it's a good show :D I've just never seen or heard of it.

[frozenterror93]

@MattBL and ever since I picked up that skill, im one step closer to world domination :)

[Focusakker]

OMG, it's Kwame from Captain Planet!!

[fezmovies]

I don't remember Le Var with a mustache!

[JaspronProductionsTv]

@fezmovies That's because this was from 1983, the original start of the show.

[mrkingofkings]

Hey it's Geordi La Forge from Star Trek. Anyway, It's good to see the original opening again, haven't seen it in years.

[PinkPunkyKat]

They need to bring this show back to PBS.

[SPS148669]

Before Blues' Clues! There was this show! LoL

[PieFights]

Finally we get to see the oringal opening not the remake!!!!

[JaspronProductionsTv]

@PieFights I don't think they aired the remade opening/ending version. Or I just never saw it.

[Tulkastaldo]

the Levar Burton wearing the yellow polo has the worst ideas...

[pressmin]

OK.. so you got the CVL version. I've borrowed the GPN version (original). That one has the funding opening/closing credits. In my area CVL version is available for loan in one library district and GPN available in a different district.

[MattBL]

I got the video from the Boston Public Library.

What area is the video you are talking about from?

[pressmin]

@MattBL this is from my friend. Anyways the CVL is from the public library in the state of Oregon. the GPN is from a public library in state of washington.

[JaspronProductionsTv]

@pressmin But the one with the 1999-present intro has never been in syndication or for sale on the GPN website. Or this.
