Reading Rainbow and Funny Onion Article

Unfortunately, the reason for the article isn't that funny. The long running PBS children's program Reading Rainbow was recently canceled. It was the 3rd longest running show (26 years!) on PBS, after Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. Sadly, not the station, nor PBS, nor the Corporation for Public Broadcasting wanted to pony up the funds necessary to renew the show's broadcast rights.

The only funny thing to come out of this debacle is this ridiculous article from The Onion. You can read it here

Poor Levar! I wish he would have done his show with his cool Star Trek eyes! Obviously this is not Levar talking...there is no way he could have found anything at the end of a rainbow!

Wow, did he really write that? Just a little bitter, maybe? Was the show that terrible?

Mel, Mel, Mel...Everything The Onion writes is totally fake! The show was totally great! It was an honor for Levar to do the show for so long. But don't take my word for it.
