Which INTRO song is best ?


Personaly I like the old intro song better than the new one. Probably because I was used to it. Remakes "almost" never do the original justice. Trivia question for you all: Who sang the "Reading Rainbow" song?

The original was definitely the best. Maybe I'm a little biased because it just reminds me of when I'd watch the show as a little kid. I used to love that show.

The older version with the banging drum beat.

I am watching the show with my baby niece and I just heard the new one for the first time. I hate it! I LOVED the old one! I miss it. :( In preparation for the song, I turned the volume up. I was sorely disappointed. Bring back the original!

Which intro song is best? Is that a real question even?

RR forever! :)

Definitely the original. What were they thinking when they went back and reedited all the pre-2000 episodes of the show to feature the new theme song?

It also doesn't help that they didn't do a good job reediting them, meaning that you can still hear parts of the original theme in some episodes, the most prominent example being a segment with the show's original music composer Steve Horelick in the "Ty's One Man Band" episode (great segment, BTW).

The old one definitely since I grew up with it and I loved the 80s beat of it, although the new one is not too bad.

Definitely the original intro song with the banging drum beat. The newer intro is dreadful compared to the old.
