I don't have time to read the transcript just now, was it cancelled or did Mr. Burton retire? That show was bad ass. Almost no whistles and bells, just books and stories and kids. I haven't seen it in a while but I'm sad to see it go.
As a side note, I always found it creepy that he didn't wear the eye covering on the show.

Several people called into the broadcast to thank Burton for his two-plus decades of teaching their children to read and love reading. They were very upset. Hey...maybe Obama should make a statement supporting the program? Yeah right: that'll make sure it stays dead and buried for all time. Can't risk having Burton teach the kids anything dangerous like how to read something outside of headlines and webpage tickers....
