Well, sure, it's easy to make fun of his affect, and, yes, the Simpsons once lampooned him as "Howell Huser" riding a turnip truck, but you have to give the guy credit for not being jaded and for being able to summon up enthusiasm easily and in an engaging way.
 
I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist. :D And as a matter of fact, Mark, I've been a tremendous fan of Huell for as long as I can remember. Watching his still-ongoing repeats on KCET around dinner time is one of the few reasons I still switch over to the roof antenna today!

I was very glad when his estate allowed Chapman to preserve his entire library online, but the KCET broadcasts work for me because they coincide with dinner and are commercial-free. I do wish, however, that Chapman will someday re-transfer all those episodes to digital. I don't know if it was because the project was handed off to a group of their multimedia students, but many of the videos in that archive have severe problems with deinterlacing field order, frame rate mismatches, and severe white clipping (blown out, solid white skies and sometimes even faces). I'm not sure if it still does this, but KCET has its own digital conversions of each show, and after each was broadcast over the air, it would upload that episode for online viewing to its web site, where it would remain available for a week or so. Those versions always looked perfect.

I would hope that all his episodes are archived on PBS Passport like other PBS programming.

Technically and legally speaking, it was a local KCET program and not a PBS network offering, so that hope may not be possible.
