"Reading Rainbow," the popular children's show that ran from the mid-80's until 2006, may return, according to the show's host LeVar Burton via his Twitter account. The Emmy Award winning television show, which aired on PBS, featured celebrities reading books as well as other segments about books and reading, and each episode would include brief recommendations by kids for kids.

In a tweet on March 19, LeVar Burton said:

Same here. For years, LeVar Burton juggled two shows - RR and Star Trek: TNG. Remember the RR episode where he took viewers on a tour of the set of TNG? Very cool!!! :cool: :D

I'd love to see LeVar host R.R. as Geordi LaForge! It would be fun to see him try to read with the Visor on! :lol:
