FYI: There's a documentary about Reading Rainbow on Netflix. I haven't watched it yet.
Edit: Just watched it. It's amazing. It made me love LeVar Burton even more than I already did. Also, he played a blind guy on The Love Boat before he was on TNG.
While looking for the exact phrasing of "But you don't have to take my word for it" I found out there's been a lot of drama surrounding Burton vs. the company that owns the rights.
Sure is strange that the reading rainbow guy was in another series set in a future with little to no books. We have the tablet technology like ST but books are still very much a thing.

Link to the crossover episode if you’ve never seen it. It must be from late season 1 if Worf’s in red but Security Chief.

I thought that got resolved. Burton is allowed to continue to use the phrase because he wrote it and popularized it, last I checked.
Hey! Turns out you're the bearer of good news :)
I thought so.
I remembered when that drama broke on Reddit. It got resolved VERY quickly after people started hate-mailing PBS.
Wow. That sucks.
