Out of all the TV shows I watched as a kid, Star Trek Next Generation (STNG) and Reading Rainbow were two of the most impactful. Reading Rainbow was more memorable than Mr. Roger’s neighborhood. Watching STNG with my dad, nerding out talking about the show’s philosophy was more fun than other science fiction TV show. Don’t even get me started on how I watched the series Roots on repeat in the basement. Actor LeVar Burton was a leading role in each of these shows and as a result he is a part of my childhood in a really meaningful way.
