Shows are already available online for various television programs. It seems almost like common sense to revert to the Internet in cases such as LeVar's.
The Internet has become an incredible instrument in education. Not only does the Internet host a plethora of scholarly resources, encyclopedias, and 'how to' videos, it is slowly becoming the new classroom. Not only are college courses available online, but middle, and high school courses are also being offered.
If LeVar's intention is to educate the Internet is certainly the way to go. When people have a question, their first instinct is to "'Google' it". The advantages are endless. If episodes are available online not only will "Reading Rainbow" be watched, but the books it references will be available to viewers right then, and there. LeVar can get immediate viewer response; in turn, he will be able to cater his work to the specific needs of his viewers, ultimately, becoming a more effective educator. Additionally, children would be able to view what episodes they wanted when they wanted, and parents would be able to dictate the episodes their children view in accordance to what their children would be learning in school.
Fun, educational programs such as "Reading Rainbow" are beautiful resources. They need to be available to children, and if television will not approve them, the Internet will.
