The Reading Rainbow Star Trek Episode

 

In Season 5, Episode 1 of "Reading Rainbow," host LeVar Burton showed kids around his other TV show, "Star Trek: the Next Generation." Not to be confused with the time Webster went to the Star Trek. 

The episode aired August 15, 1988 and I remember watching it. Star Trak comes up frequently in life and I often thought of this episode and then today it shows up as a suggestion on youtube.

Memory is strange. The only thing I remembered distinctly about this program is that it showed bloopers and that one of them is LeVar at the console, standing up and knocking over the fake console. This show does show bloopers but that's not one of them. 

The Doors - Reading Rainbow

Underscoring the unpredictable nature of late night television, the Doors stopped by Late Night to reunite and perform live for the first time in four decades.

Legend has it that Jimmy Fallon asked them to change the lyric "I can go twice as high" to "I can go twice as far". Morrison initially agreed but, when it came time for the live performance, sang the taboo version. Jimmy was so angry, he vowed to never have them back.
