I’m a Reading Rainbow baby! The song, along w/LaVar’s face and voice play in my mind whenever I think about I. So much love to him and his family! 💐👏🏾🙏🏾
I hope Mr. Burton understands the impact he had on children like me me in the late 90's watching Reading Rainbow. I was just a young, poor Hispanic kid from the Bronx. His show vastly improved my literacy at a young age, and through that I always excelled in English class K-12. I developed a love for reading books and now I hope to become a screenwriter one day. Thank you for being such a large influence on me in the right way.
I remember my teacher in 3rd grade, approximately 2003, putting on "Reading Rainbow" around lunchtime and being fascinated. It was a daily thing she put on for us to watch.
@@sheldoncole7276, LOOK HE'S BACK, IT'S THE INTERNET OBSESSED CHILDISH CRYING STALKER!! HE'S BACK FOR THE 100TH TIME AGAIN TODAY STALKING ME!! HEY CHILDISH STALKING TROLL!! QUIT TALKING TO YOURSELF, QUIT TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF STALKING TROLL!! OBSESSED STALKER, Who stalks me, & everyone everyday, Thanks for the laugh. Everyone is older than you STALKER!! GROW UP!!
What an articulate, well spoken man…. My Parents were Educators and too my Dad words meant so much… each day we would learn a new word, define it and use it in a sentence. Because of this my Children were blessed with the gift of exceptional communication and expression, rather spoken or written. I also give props to Mr. Levar Burton.. Reading Rainbow was a defining experience. Simply amazing. Thank you….❤
I met him with my wife, at a Fan Expo in Canada Summer 2022. Wonderful personality. I would see him again. I asked him, who is his most inspirational person, in his life. And he said it's his mother. Great man.
~ I binge LeVar Burton's "Trivial Pursuit" shows. He is the perfect host for that show. It is so educational, calm, enjoyable, encouraging; all because of LeVar...Loved watching him for years hosting, "Reading Rainbow." ... Many blessings to him & his family! ♥
The look 👀 on Lavar’s face when Raven said he had a Tramp stamp 🤣 …..but then for it to actually be an anagram of his other most famous TV role, Kunta Kente….. this is why we love Lavar Burton 👏.
I grew up watching "Good Times" and was very disappointed when they killed off John Amos. He was no longer with the show because he wasn't afraid to speak his mind about his character. Thanks for briefly speaking about John Amos. Lavar Burton was excellent in the mini-series Roots. He was, and is, an excellent Actor. He's very articulate and super smart.
I remember vividly when TNG came on the air that Burton, and later Goldberg! were the only two names I knew--Goldberg from her standup and Burton from Roots. As a fan of TOS from the 60s, I was shocked that the new show had actors I knew from other things! 💖💖
Just seeing Mr. Burton outside of reading rainbow is a blessing. He responsible for a whole generation of kids just like seasme Street.. Without him we would find reading boring n lame.. I’m 37 with no kids but once have them Read rainbow Mr Rodger’s an seasme street will be in rotation everyday.. Thnx Lavar much love peace an appreciation for u my brother.
Whoopi: “well, maybe we should just hijack one of those ships….and as long as there is a bar on board, and someone to fly the ship….,.I think between the 2 of us, you and me got that covered.” - 🤣 🤣 🤣 that was such a good meta Star Trek joke. Gordy and Guinan’s post Trek adventures. I’d tune it 😊.
Absolutely he once said in an interview that Mr Rogers was his mentor two great men who know what it is to show love compassion n kindness no matter what thank you Levar continue to shine that light in the world we need it
Absolutely love LeVar Burton. He seems like a wonderful human being. On a side note, they keep saying John Amos passed away this week. He passed away in August. News of his passing is just coming out. RIP Mr. Amos.
Butterfly in the sky I can go twice as high Take a look It's in a book A reading rainbow I can go anywhere Friends to know And ways to grow A reading rainbow I can be anything Take a look It's in a book A reading rainbow (A reading rainbow) A reading rainbow (A reading rainbow, a reading rainbow)
thank you so Much sir Levar Burton thank you reading Rainbow was a part of my childhood it got me into reading books i want to say thank you for your amazing work .
I still miss watching Reading Rainbow, Martha Speaks, Wishbone, Bill Nye The Science Guy, Sagwa The Chinese Siamese Cat, etc. on WHYY.☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
If Joy was on StarTrek in a scene with Ginneian. That would mean their is a tangible Joy in StarTrek. A Few candles for lighting the set would be nice.
@@Kameaux Now she going to bring that up knowing good and well it's a touchy subject for Sunny AND something the trolls like to tease her about???!! 😫😫😭😭😂😂
Is whoopi living out of a suitcase. No disrespect but she either loves her shawl and grey-dark clothes or has been traveling and doesn't have a lot of clothes. Is she in bereavement or just in a dark clothes stage. She normally has something big shirt white or blue stripes or ethnic.
Joy Behar is cuckoo and crazy but i do give her credit for taking care of herself, she looks really good for an 80+ yr old woman. cant believe she is older than Trump
Why is it so surprising that we have an education history. Putting aside slavery and USA history. Why is it all these famous people make it so surprising that they have educated family. I do understand our history. But many of us have generations of high educated relatives especially in this century As we have evolved as American. Natural or naturalized we have a rich and proud ancestry and educated history. Some times people seem to be uneducated about their own bloodlines. Our family passed down our history. I and my siblings are a 4 generations of educated relatives and it has carried on to 4 more generations. Our records were written from slavery. I just find it a little condensending to our heritage that these people act so shocked to learn their history and say it as if apologizing for their accomplishment. I am not insensitive but speak with Pride.not rhetorical presentation. Maybe, I am just sensitive to our having to act like we have to be beholding to our captors. I am a descendant of great shoulders and only until we AA and people of color stop acting as if we owe some the right to sit at the table. We had all this greatness. When we were captured. And remember colored means of many tints.hues spectrum on the color wheel. We say we Are PEOPLE of Color. That includes 95% of the world. Rarely do the other hosts.speak of their ancestry in a way as if they were less than great. Our cultural may be different but Americans come from every SOCIAL. Economic. Educated LEVEL AND FROM MANY CULTURAL DIFFERENCE. EVEN VANCE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT HIS HILLBILLY HERITAGE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DECLARING IT. WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO CAME TO AMERICA HAD BEEN PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS BUT IT WAS ThE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS OR DESCENDANTS OF MIGRATED ETHNIC GROUPS. WE NEED TO BRING MORE AWARENESS TO THE TRUE HISTORY OF AMERICA AND EVERY ETHNIC GROUP. MANY PEOPLE. IN 2024- ARE ILLITERATE; NOT BECAUSE THEY weren't taught but because of their culture. That needs to be addressed. We need to celebrate every ethnic group. My soap box for today , but I am tired. Of our accomplishments being made to seem as if we have to apologize for them. I understand what He is saying but we don't have to be surprised. Just say I AM PROUD TO COME FROM A LINEAGE OF EDUCATED FAMILY. AND THEN DO EVERYTHING TO PASS THAT PRIDE DOWN TO EVERY GENERATION. I COULD WRITE ON AND ON ANOUT THIS SUBJECT
She needs to respect a person more like Levar Burton or any person u don’t make such comments as a joke on national television..yeah he wasn’t happy abt that he explained his side but u could tell he wasn’t ready for that grow up Raven do better

I was too young for Roots, but love LeVar because of Reading Rainbow and Star Trek. ❤
The way Whoopi Gave him a complement at the end was everything!🩶
I met him with my wife, at a Fan Expo in Canada Summer 2022. Wonderful personality. I would see him again. I asked him, who is his most inspirational person, in his life. And he said it's his mother. Great man.
LeVar Burton is such a special person from Star Trek to reading rainbow he is seen in such high regard by every millennial

I bet you never used the word articulate to describe a white person. Sorry, but that is a micro-aggression.
LeVar Burton is such an inspiring man!
To this day I can’t think about the Reading Rainbow theme song without tearing up!
Love that show.

@@Kameaux Now she going to bring that up knowing good and well it's a touchy subject for Sunny AND something the trolls like to tease her about???!! 😫😫😭😭😂😂
If I listen to the song it’s gonna make me cry so I’m not gonna listen to it on UA-cam.. I loved that show as a kid# Imagination
Is whoopi living out of a suitcase. No disrespect but she either loves her shawl and grey-dark clothes or has been traveling and doesn't have a lot of clothes.
Is she in bereavement or just in a dark clothes stage.
She normally has something big shirt white or blue stripes or ethnic.
Sunny's ancestor registered to vote after emancipation. #FindingYourRoots her ancestors also owned slaves.
Skip Gates change Sunny's life I'll tell you what!
tom hanks should go on the show

I wonder how he looked in is younger days
Joy Behar is cuckoo and crazy but i do give her credit for taking care of herself, she looks really good for an 80+ yr old woman. cant believe she is older than Trump
I used to like this guy but now no, Scotty is the true engineer for the Enterprise
Shoulda been the host of jeopardy

She needs to respect a person more like Levar Burton or any person u don’t make such comments as a joke on national television..yeah he wasn’t happy abt that he explained his side but u could tell he wasn’t ready for that grow up Raven do better
Cry racism levar
Did you see the video where racist LeVar Burton loses his sh*t when he finds out that he has a white ancestor? Disappointing, but hilarious too.
I love Levar for Reading Rainbow and Star Trek but I really lost of lot of respect for him when he did this lame game show. :(
Trump 2024 ❤❤❤
Okay, Karen...
Moranic Troll.
Bet he's been to alot of Diddy Parties.
Diddy parties where YOU handed out the baby oil?
Why do you say that?
@Chillhard all these celebrities you want to worship is your Prerogative,but these people are evil and practice Satanism.
@Chillhard all these celebrities you worship are evil ,why do you think they call it idol worship.
Matt Gaetz
See LeVar racism took over your mind and that is what you get .... So I hope the black people take a learning experience
I hope they talk about this too ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTa1QZLo7VfUf6izJaS47IIb9awNcjlMi?si=fUmBe1Hd5aCBTQBr
It’s amazing every celebrities are having game shows. Smh. Who’s next Obama or Whoopi or Oprah
Whoopi has expressed interest.
