    FYI: There’s a documentary about Reading Rainbow on Netflix. I haven’t watched it yet.

    Edit: Just watched it. It’s amazing. It made me love LeVar Burton even more than I already did. Also, he played a blind guy on The Love Boat before he was on TNG.

    Found a still.

      While looking for the exact phrasing of “But you don’t have to take my word for it” I found out there’s been a lot of drama surrounding Burton vs. the company that owns the rights.

        I thought that got resolved. Burton is allowed to continue to use the phrase because he wrote it and popularized it, last I checked.

            I thought so.

            I remembered when that drama broke on Reddit. It got resolved VERY quickly after people started hate-mailing PBS.

    Sure is strange that the reading rainbow guy was in another series set in a future with little to no books. We have the tablet technology like ST but books are still very much a thing.
