[VIDEO] Reading Rainbow was a public TV series that often aired on PBS TV stations around the nation during the 1980s. Actor Levar Burton hosted this show in addition to being USS Enterprise Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
What I have seen in this episode so far are the rehearsals and it appears that Burton and the TNG crew were doing a scene during that series very first season all the way in 1987-88. A long time ago, and back during the first season La Forge was actually the flight officer for the Enterprise as opposed to Chief Engineer for which he was promoted by the series' 2nd season.
Reading Rainbow is a series that's really about books, however, in this episode it seems as if Burton is giving you an inside look in the production of a TV series. Perhaps there is a child out there who saw this edition and decided they wanted to go into TV production. Perhaps they wanted to go into acting. Who knows.
However, I hope you enjoy this look back.
ALSO, if you're a Star Trek fan Levar Burton is back in Star Trek Picard as Commodore Geordi La Forge. So they promoted him again to be a "flag officer" in Starfleet. And the final episode of Picard airs on the streaming service Paramount Plus. Hopefully you will check it out and stream other Star Trek series available.
