TV Buzz The former host first announced that the childrens' series may be making a comeback in March. Now, 5 months later, he's teasing the possibility again. Expect more details very soon.

TV Buzz Sad news: the last episode of Reading Rainbow airs today. No more book reviews! No more informational segments on space camp. Worst of all, no more trippy theme song. We'll have to make do with these from now on.
Yup you wouldn't even be able to appreciate a book with out him! via LeVar Burton's twitter.
Celebrity Buzz The former Reading Rainbow host (and star of Star Trek and Roots) has taken back his Twitter after an impostor set up a fake account in his name, consequently turning Burton into somewhat of a new media junkie.

A couple of the junior Mad Men stopped by The Soup to talk about their Golden Globe win. And for no immediately obvious reason, they brought LeVar Burton with them. (Not that you NEED a reason for LeVar Burton. I would bring him with me everywhere if I could.)
