This is How Movies Should Be Made

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Rainbow is an allegory for the oppressive, dictatorial state we live inGeoffrey represents the state, an all powerful machine that cannot be questioned or subverted - He controls the nature of reality and the direction of society Zippy and George represent the dissenting element of society - Zippy because he speaks his mind and George because he's clearly homosexual and these aspects threaten the official states(Geoffrey's) ideals - This is why they're both behind a desk (because Geoffrey has had their legs broken to further control them) Bungle represents the conformist element and consequently is allowed the use of his legs by Geoffrey - Bungle will blindly obey the states (Geoffrey's) commands and follow the official party line Rod, Jane and Freddy....well, it's pretty obvious what they represent (the dirty buggers) Geoffrey allows them a modicum of freedom since they're the voice of his state propaganda (songs about being good little boys and girls) Overall, a great show that teaches us about the nature of our oppressive, twisted, nightmare society (unless i'm reading too much into it?)

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".

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!

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
