I miss ABC After-school Specials. The episodes on this series allowed the view to live vicariously through the experiences of the characters. After-school Specials were educational and entertaining. ABC also did some other things right- they made sure it was multicultural. Growing up in a very multicultural environment I appreciate seeing people of all races and cultures, not just one. What I don't like is how they make dyslexia look like a visual disorder but I love how Brian (the main character played by River Phoenix) gets others to help him out.
Here is episode 6 from Season 12 - Backwards: The Riddle of dyslexia. This episode aired in March 1984 and stars young River Phoenix (RIP my friend) and his younger brother Joaquin who went by the name Leaf back then. This episode is broken down into 5 short parts so that you can watch is more easily since the whole show is over 45 minutes long. Enjoy...
