#1
S6E1 8.9
The Bionic Bunny Show

In both the featured story and on the set of the show "Star Trek: the Next Generation" (which LeVar also stars in), we learn how TV shows are made and how actors in costumes and special effects can make imaginary things seem real.

#2
S5E7 8.8
Rumpelstiltskin

This looks like an extension of the previous episode, but it is a separate venture. LeVar appears in proper attire for an English Renaissance festival. Ralph Waite reads the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, about a poor miller's daughter who is stuck between a greedy king and a conniving elf to get out of a difficult situation.

#3
S11E7 8.8
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

One thing leads to another in this episode, with LeVar in a bowling alley, showing how certain actions lead to consequences. Included is a piece on an expert at domino displays and domino art. Beth Howland reads "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," the tale of a little boy who offers a cookie to a mouse, and all the events that occur afterwards as a result.

#4 Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain S1E4 8.7
#5 Tight Times S1E1 8.3
#6 Miss Nelson Is Back S1E2 8.2
#7 Feelings S4E3 7.8

Lowlights

#7 S4E3 Feelings 7.8

LeVar seems to have a lot of things going wrong for him as he spends a day in the park, causing lots of different emotions.

In another profile, LeVar introduces Koko the Gorilla, who learned to communicate through American Sign Language.
