7th Emmy Award

Early in 2005 Reading Rainbow was nominated for 6 more Emmys.  The prospects looked good for another Emmy or two for the season.  Under Ed's direction, the show had been awarded the Outstanding Children's series Emmy for the last 7 out of 9 years. 

The awards were held in May.  The series was again honored with the Emmy for outstanding children's series.  

The show also won 3 more Emmys: Outstanding Writing in a Children Series and Outstanding Single Camera Photography and Outstanding Single Camera Editing.  Reading Rainbow is the only kids show that keeps winning awards in non-children categories.  It's been honored with 4 Emmys in 2005 alone.

Ed now has 7 Emmy Awards and over 20 nominations for producing and directing.  Ed's programs also have received the Prix Jeunesse, Peabody, Chicago Film Festival and numerous other awards.
