YES!

Please, oh please, riff this one! I remember watching it in elementary school in the 90s. It's beautifully terrible.

From Wikipedia:

"Storylords is a 1984 live-action instructional television series shown on educational and PBS member stations [with episodes that] focus on building reading comprehension strategies through the use of fantasy.

"The storyline consists of a young boy named Norbert [and later his sister Mandy] who has been apprenticed by Lexor—an old Storylord from the land of Mojuste—to defend Mojuste's citizens against the wicked Storylord, Thorzuul [and his chauffeur Milkbreath]. Thorzuul seeks to turn all of those who can't understand what they read into stone statues for his collection.

"[Norbert] then travels to Mojuste via the 'Bike-o-Tron' (a magical stationary exercise bike in his garage), while chanting:

"'Thunder and Lightning, Trumpets and Drums, Readers Rejoice, A Storylord Comes!'"
