Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

screenman It's early 1970's, and with a lingering hint of psychedelia slipping into pomp style, came 'Rainbow'.Here was an excellent programme for kids that wasn't dumbed-down. In fact it was as much fun for grown-ups as for tots. There seemed to be a little bit of something for everybody, presented by a motley band of individuals including a bear, a bashful pink hippo, and a crabby little know-it-all character called zippy. Each of them were very much like variations of young kid, and kept in order by the indefatigable Geoffery.It was humongously popular for very good reasons. And then, for the inevitable bad reasons, it got axed. The period of 1965-1975 was the most imaginative for television programmes.Much enjoyed by those of us who were around at the time. I still often find myself whistling its jaunty little theme tune.

i_am_bernie_g I agree with what TC Raymond wrote. I have a website with that exact clip. And here it is: HTTP://www.ebaumsworld.com/rainbowkidsshow.HTML I hope each and every one of you enjoy it as much as I have. Because this is the greatest TV show/segment ever. On a scale of 1-10, I gave it a 20. It's a classic. And Jane is hot! her maracas are too. LOL Is there any chance of this coming out on DVD? I need to see this on DVD. I'll be the first one in line to buy it online or at the store. Do they have an official website? That would be awesome. It'd be the greatest kid's show of all time since "The Electric Company". Let's give it up for the greatest cast of twanger-players ever. The cast of "Rainbow".

gottobecertain Rainbow was one of the best TV shows that I grew up with, and it was one of the jewels in the crown for ITV (Independant Television).It was produced by Thames Television who were the operators of ITV in the London region during weekdays from 1968 to 1992. In 1992, Thames lost the London franchise to Carlton Communications, and they didn't want Rainbow, so it was axed.There have been recent attempts to resurrect it, but none have been successful. Presenter Jeffrey, was recently revealed in a tabloid newspaper to be a trolley pusher at a supermarket in North London!

lorddrinksalot Rainbow is one of the greatest Children's shows of all time it always had something new every week it helped kids learn about life and have fun at the same time why itv Axed this show i will never now
