My 3 1/2 year old loves this show! I pick her up from school at 1pm 2 days a week and she asks if it is time for Between the Lions and then says "And I will watch Reading Rainbow after. That is my favorite show". Nice to know that classic shows can survive!!

This show has been there a long time. Thank god PBS still airs ALL of the reruns of this magificent show. It never lost any of the educational content it had ever since 1983. THANK GOD PBS FOR KEEPING ALL OF THE RERUNS OF READING RAINBOW, if only you would bring back the early episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1979 and up reruns still air), and Sesame Street (bring back the earlier 1969 episodes, please) and bringing back retired PBS shows like Lamb Chop, Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, Theodore Tugboat, Puzzle Place, Magic School Bus (still reruns on Discovery Kids and TLC), Shining Time Station (I did hear rumors about this one rerunning on Playhouse Disney later this Fall), Ghostwriter, Wishbone, Wimzie's House, Bloopy's Buddies, Adventures in the Book of Virtues, Square One Television, and so much more retro PBS KIDS titles you remember!!! LEVAR'S THE MAN!!!

We've borrowed a number of these on DVD from our local library. Each episode is about a different them, and has several components introducing the young viewers to the world around them. My daughter loves the variety. The show's content is absolutely age-appropriate.
