LeVar Burton wouldn’t lead us astray via Twitter would he? Because a few days ago he announced that Reading Rainbow 2.0 is in the works. Which is cool. I guess.
To give you an idea of my age, the kids that I babysat watched that show (oh, dear god, I’m old) and they ate the book-centric program up with a spoon. Which is pretty darn cool for a children’s show. Recommending books to kids? ALWAYS GOOD. Of course, I was just a lazy teenager whose purpose was to stop the kids from licking Drano while the parents were gone, which I accomplished by keeping them seated in front of the television, so what do I know? Was Reading Rainbow any good?
(Ed. note: of COURSE it was good. In an ‘any show that encourages kids to read and involves rainbows that may or may not have contained hidden unicorns’ kind of way.)
I figure as long as LeVar isn’t announcing a return of Star Trek: The Next Generation, I’m cool with that.
