LeVar Burton trying to bring back reading rainbow (kickstarter)

[EliteRetard]

w00t!

$400 voice-mail is so mine.

 

[Platypus]

I donated $50, wonderful idea and I wish them the best of luck with it.

 

[EliteRetard]

LOLZ they need to update the page, over 1/3 the way there and the rainbow is stuck at 10%.

 

[BoberFett]

I would consider the $750 Star Trek convention, my daughter wants to go to one of those anyway.

Wow the counter is going up quick!

 

[TheVrolok]

Wow the counter is going up quick!

yeah, it's crazy, I'm in for an autographed headshot? Why not?

Edit: Damn. The 100 dollar headshots are sold out? Now would need to drop 250? Daaammnn.. well, it's a great cause and it's tax deductable? Maybe I should put my money where my mouth is and drop 250 on a worthy causes, rather than another video game CF projecting (I'm looking at you SC.. PoE (PE).. and T:ToN).

Wow. Already have half a mil in mere hours. Reasonably sure he's going to make it in 35 days.

 

[TheVrolok]

Watched the 6 minute video. Definitely teared up and then laughed out loud at the cameo at the end. In for 250. Also, in the 6 minutes it took to watch the video, another 20k was raised. Nice.

Man I was surprised how quick it's gone up. I didn't realize RR was such a big deal to people lol, I remember seeing a few episodes as a kid but I don't think it ever struck much of a chord with me.

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn, was at $50K when I posted this morning.

[OutHouse]

im thinking of meeting him at Denvers comic con in 2 weeks.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Watched reading rainbow in class during the 1st grade.

 

[phucheneh]

Almost there. ~850k. Will probably hit it within an hour or two.

I was born in 1987 and I watched it religiously. It was up there with sesame street, The Magic School Bus and Wishbone.

 

[mnewsham]

$931k now, should hit $1M in the next 30 minutes or so I'd guess.

 

[Jeff7]

When did this thing start?

So at this rate, I'm thinking we'll see at least 15 minutes of decent CGI per episode.

 

[KeithTalent]

...and funded. So wonder what the stretch goals will be?

Stretch goal, beat pebble.

 

[zinfamous]

that episode was hilarious.


I like the $250 reward--headshot of your choice for autograph. ....anyone who chooses the Kunta Kinte is kinda creepy, I think. :hmm:

 

[positivedoppler]

Wow they blew past a mil so fast. This one is straight to the childhood feel

 

[Sonikku]

I know if they don't reach their goal on kickstarter they don't get a cent, even if they're a dollar short. But what about the money that goes over? Do they get to keep money over the goal? If so, why not just set the goal for a buck and keep everything after to be safe?

I don't think a lot of people would donate to a Kickstarter that didn't put a realistic number up there. A Kickstarter with a $1 goal screams scam, unless it's a charity or something.

The goal is the minimum needed for the project to be accomplished. If you set your goal at $1 then you are saying that with anything over $1 you will deliver your product (and rewards associated if you have that set up).

This, although there was that band that kickstarted their lunch for the lulz. Set a goal of $35 and got $325, although they did offer decent rewards for what it was.
