Parents will just have to hope their kids don't suffer not being read to until RR comes out on DVD. You can take my word for it (insert music). /who understood that joke? @Noodles re: Reading Rainbow

Wrong! Parents will just have to hope their kids don’t suffer not being read to until RR comes out on DVD.

You can take my word for it (insert music).

/who understood that joke?

I thought it had been canceled a long time ago. I guess parents will have to go back to doing it the old-fashioned way: Sitting down with their kids and reading together. Re: French rap. I had a listen to my small Serge Gainsbourg collection. I should know the difference between rap and reggae by now, dontchathink?! Re: Reading Rainbow. I thought it had been canceled a long time ago.

I was floored when I found this out. - My secret shame is when I'm with other MNSpeakers and people say, "So, how do you guys know each other?" Honestly, at this point, it might be easier just to lie and say, "Craigslist Casual Encounters". - It's also weird when I see other MNSpeakers commenting on other sites I read that aren't about MN. I periodically see Sandburg on Gawker and we've commented on the same thread. Crazy! - I too enjoy French rap and have listened to on Jane’s patio.

I know MNSpeak is mainly The Olds and the Less-Old-Slackers but anyone here watch it as a kid. Also, anyone else think it was canceled a long time ago?
