Oh, wow, did I adore that show as a kid. I wasn't even aware Burton was still doing the show. That's really great work he did.
The only problem with showing reruns of the show is that I've seen references off the show's Wikipedia article that the rights in question include renewing broadcast rights for the books featured in each episode. I'm not entirely sure that's accurate, but it would be a big stumbling block if true.
On the other hand, Reading Rainbow would be a great model for someone else wanting to make a show to emulate.
