    The world is going to hell. And present day Levar Burton looks like present day Stevie Franchise.

    Did you ever watch Reading Rainbow? His videos were pretty good. If you didn't watch as a kid it is easy to cynical, but it is a good show.

    Yeah, I didn't remember him calling them that, I figured it was a new-age thing.

    But you don't have to take my word for it.

    When I was a kid I wished I was on reading rainbow as one of the kids doing the book reviews.

    I really think reading rainbow online videos could be great. They could finally go uncensored, I wanna see him read playboys online. That'd be great.

    Kind of sucks this show got canceled. I don't know what they put on PBS,but this shouldn't have been very expensive to make.
