Many of us grew up watching Reading Rainbow with LeVar Burton, who, of course, also played Geordi La Forge on Star Trek.

Well, he's bringing a new version to the web with the help of Kickstarter. They surpassed their $1M goal in under 12 hours (currently over $2.4M with 33 days remaining). However, some are skeptical (cynical?).

    Having grown up with Reading Rainbow myself, I'm looking forward to being able to show an updated version to my daughter. She's already interested in my computer, tablet, phone, etc (as many kids probably are), so bringing Reading Rainbow to those formats is a no-brainer. I'll definitely be contributing.
