The Return of Reading Rainbow?

After an eight year hiatus, "Reading Rainbow" appears to be returning.

LeVar Burton was determined to bring the show back and he went to the site Kickstarter to help raise the necessary funds for production. Burton and his crew sought to raise a cool $1 million and did so -- in just 11 hours.

"Reading Rainbow" premiered in 1983 and used the medium of television to stress to children the importance of reading. The show didn't just portray reading as some bland activity only to be done in relation to school work, but also emphasized the power of imagination and just how much one could ascertain from reading consistently.
