* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The episode "The Bionic Bunny Show" aired in 1988 and goes behind the scenes of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' in its first season, focusing on the episodes "When The Bough Breaks" and "Symbiosis". As [=LeVar=] talks about the TNG ensemble, he describes his character Geordi La Forge, as "the helmsman" instead of "the chief engineer" which he'd serve as from season 2 onward, and also brings up Tasha Yar. Also, by the time this episode aired, Creator/DeniseCrosby (Tasha) had already departed from TNG.

* HilariousInHindsight: There were at least three scenarios where books read in the show would later become adapted into PBS shows:
** One of the earliest episodes of the show featured the book ''Arthur's Eyes''. Of course, pretty much everyone knows ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' would become a long-running show on PBS, but what makes it even funnier is that the ''exact same story'' was used as the basis for its pilot episode. Better yet, another book that was read a bit later in ''Reading Rainbow's'' life was ''The Bionic Bunny Show'', which was originally written to teach children about what goes into making a TV show, such as special effects and all...which is doubly hilarious considering it would later become incorporated as a ShowWithinAShow on ''Arthur'' proper!
** ''The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth'' was one of the books featured on ''Reading Rainbow'' as well, which would later become adapted into [[WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus its own thing]] only a few years after.
** Finally, ''Martha Speaks'' was read on ''Reading Rainbow'' as well, and although it was much later to the party than the two aforementioned examples, it still did eventually get [[WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks an animated adaptation on PBS.]]
