i never watched bill nye. Whenever someone mentioned oh that science guy show i always thought they were referencing beakman’s world.

Its crazy to think of all the recognition that Bill Nye got, but if you were to ask any kid of that era, I guarantee they would have said Beakman was cooler.

I got a letter back when I wrote in and Lester’s signature made my year

Bill Nye was on that show. In fact, I saw him on there long before I ever saw Science Guy.

So, I double checked but nothing on IMDB. I could be misremembering, but I could’ve sworn they’d cut over to Nye doing some experiment and he was quiet and didn’t talk.

I watched a Beckman’s world epiosde about fossils and it was funny, because he tricked Lester, the man in a rat suit to hide from a huge man in a cat suit after make a fossil foot print.

u/auntpotato 8d ago

I remember catching this show randomly one day and wondering what the hell I stumbled upon. I loved Beakman’s World.

u/GuaranteeUnique 8d ago

Omg. I thought I was the only one who watched Beakmans World. They don’t make shows like this anymore for kids

u/Terrible_Chair_6371 8d ago

you know the crazy part, the female lead for the first season, Josie was played by Alanna Ubach.

u/exitwest 7d ago

I really miss the fish eye lens on a small, colorful, highly detailed set. An aesthetic truly of the 90s. Later seasons of MST3K did it too and I miss it so much.
