I loved Beakman's World. It was a more wacky version of Bill Nye.

Lester was the man.
Lester was the rat, man.
He did a a new video with Captain Disillusion, it's worth a watch!
Beakman's World was THE BEST
He taught me Roy G Biv
I think all English kids learn "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain"
My dad suggested "Rip Off Your Green Bra, IVy" which is quite scandalous for my dad...
Still do! Got my kids watching it now.
Saaaaame, hell yeah 🤜🤛
I still remember the one where he explained why water conducts electricity.
Hope he explained the water isn’t what’s doing the conducting but rather the dissolved ions within. Pure, deionized water is a fairly good insulator.
He did in the best way. By showing us water and salt by itself and asking which will conduct electricity better. Then revealed that neither alone can conduct electricity, but mixing them together bridges the circuit and lights up a lightbulb. For a 5th grade me it was quite a surprise.
That’s what’s up. All those old school science shows and classic Discovery channel is a big part of why I got into science / medicine. Learned a lot and got a ferocious curiosity from them.
It inspired me to become a human sized rat, but I'm glad it worked out for you too!!
Loved this show - it also began my crush on Alanna Ubach.
Josie>Liza>Phoebe
Alanna Ubach is a national treasure.
Guilty as charged, also Bill Nye the Science Guy 👍
BILL! BILL! BILL!
But have you seen the long lost episode where Bill Nye beats the shit out of Beakman, and then Mr. Wizard shows up with his shotgun and orders both of them off his lawn?
Where's the link? I was mislead by the link you posted lmao
Sounds like some kind of sequel to the ultimate showdown
I remember Josie played by Alanna Ubach, she's a great actress
I always liked Lester.
I was 17 and loved that show. They were a bit nuts and I couldn't get enough.
I would have let that sexy rat turn me into Swiss cheese !
Who tf is Beakman? I ride or die with Mr Squiggle (the man from the moon).
It scared me whenever it came on as a kid
I wrote in twice.
For those that don't know. They would answer questions sent in by kids.
I got a generic reply but I did get a reply. Maybe a promo card or something. I don't recall.
They never put my questions on the show.
I only remember one of them.
I asked where color went when things fade.
I now know it's because the molecules break down from oxygen and sunlight. They don't go anywhere. They just stop reflecting back certain wave lengths and reflect back more . Making it lighter./whiter.
I never saw it growing up, but my high school Chem teacher showed it to us every so often cause it was her daughter's favorite show, and also some episodes had stuff that was part of some lessons
OOOOHHH I MEMBER
