Beakman's World an Educational TV series aired in 1992 up to 1998 with 91 episodes.
The series was mainly for educational purposes where the host Paul Zaloom portrays Beakman an eccentric scientist who performs comical experiments and demonstrations crafted for viewer mails. The series mainly takes on scientific approaches on experiments made in the show.
I remember watching this series every weekend, so other than watching cartoons back then in the 90's I also watch these live action learning series as well.
He has other hosts in the series a giant rat and a girl who helps him in his experiments.
The series is a bit crazy and a bit out of control at times but that is part of them being comical so that younger audience will not get bored watching the show since it is mainly experimenting and younger audience, if not entertained by the show would choose not to watch and do something else of change the channel.
The series did not seemed to have aired many episodes in the Philippines at the same time I somehow remember getting a glimpse of an episode of two being dubbed in our native tongue, not really sure if it was this show or another show.
So yeah, back then when internet was still new and not yet fully available to those who has no computer, modem and phone line at home to check the internet for scientific topics at the same time Youtube does not exist yet during that time, much less online streaming. Educational TV programs were being aired for younger audiences for them to be able to learn more at home and some schools I believe have video tapes of similar educational videos for students to view at school as a study aid used by teachers and not just using books for study references.
If Beakman's World is available somewhere in the internet, hey kids search for this show and learn how we learned stuff during our days when internet was still new and online streaming is not yet a thing.
