Oh no! LeVar Burton, the host of “Reading Rainbow,” was in a car accident in L.A. yesterday when a 74-year-old woman cut him off while making a left turn. Obviously, LeVar was not at fault. People who host exceptional children’s TV shows can do no wrong! (Well, besides Pee Wee Herman, that is.) And “Reading Rainbow” was 100% exceptional. Lord knows I didn’t voluntarily read as a child, but watching an episode of “Reading Rainbow” sure made me feel like I did. [TMZ]

As you can see, this gloomy accident brought back many blissful memories. After the jump, let’s rejoice in the survival of Levar Burton by checking out my other favorite kiddie TV show hosts.
