It sort of exists. In Reading Rainbow S6E1 "The Bionic Bunny Show", LeVar gives a tour of the TNG set and explains the show production. (somewhat odd, IMDB has the episode incorrectly listed as S5E1)

You can watch this episode on youtube, and also just the Star Trek parts of the episode which were recut as a special feature for one of the TNG Bluray releases.

This was one of my favorite episodes as a kid.

It’s not just a reading rainbow anymore. Now it’s the entire reading EM spectrum

Instead of reading children's books, he's reading the warp engine operation manual and Introduction to Advanced Warp Mechanics.

So, yeah... children's books. Obviously.

Reading rainbow with Geordi La Forge?

Shouldn't Geordie have a yellow uniform? Or is he no longer in engineering when promoted to the reading rainbow department?

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago

He is certainly "in command" there, at least of his audience's attention.

It's from when he was a bridge officer in the first season.

They did that. They had an episode of Reading Rainbow where he talks about playing Geordi and shows off the set and other things from the show. It's how I know how they did the transporter effect, as it was explained on that episode of RR! They just had some blue beads in a graduated cylinder and stirred it up. 😃

Toss in Kwame from Captain Planet and I'm in. The man taught me about reading, conservation, and warp theory.

I can’t help but feel its absence between seasons. My favorite thing to listen to while cutting the grass, hands down.
