A comment on Let's get Salman Khan (khanacademy.org) on the TED stage. Parent comment
The problem with production in the 80's and 90's was time and cost. High cost and long production time guaranteed the problems you point out.
But the cost of high-quality production today is so low as to be non-existent. Production time is still a factor -- as it is in software development.
Sal chose quantity over visual quality and hit the long ball. But c'mon, a Blue Snowball USB microphone is only $99 and produces crystal-clear audio.
