I watched this program with my two young daughters. We did the experiments, made the beakmobile, made bubbles, made the periscope and many other things. My daughters adored Josie. My daughters let their hair grow long and sometimes had 5 pony tails just like Josie. This program was interesting for me also. It made me laugh and I enjoyed watching it. Paul Zaloom, Alanna Ubach (at 15 years of age) and Mark Ritts were very good together. We hated to see Josie go but my daughters still watched the show with Eliza Schneider, and Senta Moses but my daughters liked Josie the best.

It was all about having fun and learning at the same time. I remember watching this anytime I could catch it on México's cultural channel by excellence (channel 11). I watched it's reruns and never got tired of it because I have to admit that I learned a lot from it. I didn't care if I was out of school or whatever, Beakman taught me on biology, science, physics aspects. I had a great time with the show's colorful art direction and atmosphere.The performances were funny and witty. I just was addicted to this show. It's sad to admit that when puberty comes to you, you just can't help but forget about such great shows like this one. I wish my kids will have the chance to watch it.

This movie and the series are very funny and informative science presentations. One in particular illustrates what some places in the world would look like under water if the Polar Caps melted. But, have you ever watched the ice melt in a glass of water filled with ice. The water level goes down not up as suggested by the trio. Try it and see for your self. Instead of the water level being half way up the Tower of London as shown, one would be able to walk to Paris. Without checking everything they have presented or illustrated, I wonder if there are other questionable assumptions. Throughout history many scientists have given us what they thought were logical conclusions that turned out to be wrong. Perhaps, this should have been pointed out somewhere in the movie or in the series.

In this video, there are some of the highlights of the award winning show, "Beakman's World". There, of course, aren't all the best things on this tape, yet it is very funny and educational. It mostly features Beakman and Lester, but Josie, Herb, and Don are in it, too. I wish I could find the show on tv, though.
