Reading Rainbow: 9x8

The Lady with the Ship on her Head

Turning even crazier, the show plays with our heads in more ways than one. LeVar is the “Head reporter” of a mock-news program called “HEADline News Report” and “reports” on a truly head-spinning array of all things ridiculous about the head. Included is a “Head-to-Head” interview with The Grateful Head, a fictitious musical group of singing heads…no necks, just heads. They sing a song called, “I Ain’t Got No Body.” Marilyn Pasekoff reads the featured story of a vain French woman, trying to win a fancy hat contest, unwittingly has a miniature sailing ship land on her head, and wins the contest when the judges mistake the boat for her head ornament.
