    Beakman was my favorite of all the science shows. I must’ve had a teacher that loved it or something too because this was also what we would watch at school.

      …i think it’s just a poorly-ripped recording; they weren’t out of synch in original broadcast…

    Beakman (and his supposed “world”) was only ever a knockoff of Bill Nye, who himself was just a nice Mr. Wizard.

      How could it be a knockoff when it started airing a year earlier? Beakman’s World began airing in '92, Bill Nye the Science Guy didn’t start until '93.

        Bill Nye (this supposed “science guy”) was only ever a knockoff of Beakman, who himself was just a bored meth cook.

          I considered bringing that up, but the television date was already earlier than Nye. I didn’t want to overcomplicate the rhetoric.

        Completely tongue-in-cheek. I just didn’t like his show as much as I liked Bill Nye.
