Super rare footage! The end of an episode, in English, with “Dr. Pi” performing an experiment, giving his mailing address, and then the start of the end credits. Starring Michael Sorich (voice of Squatt and some monsters on Power Rangers, and also played Woody Stocker on VR Troopers).
This was a 1-hour mix of live action and Japanese animation produced by Saban Entertainment that aired in syndication from 1993-1994. I don’t know what station this was recorded from but one station it used to air on was WABC in New York. I didn’t really believe this show existed until I found this short piece near the end of a tape with some other stuff from October 93. This is all I have, and I was shocked to find it a few hours ago. I don’t recall ever seeing this before in my life and I thought the first I heard of it was a few months ago online.
Here is an article that describes the American legal situation that led to the creation of “Bill Nye the Science Guy”, “Beakman’s World”, this show, and other educational programs in the early 90s: http://pastebin.com/kiuySqjy

This dude > Bill Nye
Any day of the week! This man made my childhood awesome!
The guy who voiced Squatt on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.🙂
Stay tuned next week where we will show you how to make bath salts!
Hey, where can I watch full episode? With the theme song? It is important! Thanks 🙂
Each 1-hour episode (including commercials) of this show mixed with live-action segments and pre-Existing Animation including Saban's Samurai Pizza Cats and Tic Tac Toons. Does anybody have all full episodes???
this guy made my childhood intresting i want to know if someone can give me a link with the tv series
I was just thinking of this show the other day, with this guy making cheesy jokes and the short anime segments (I believe one was about a dinosaur that laid magic eggs, another was about a Tarzan-like character). Nowhere near as cool as Beakman or Bill Nye, but I was a kid, so I ate up anything it seemed. XD
I used to watch this after Mr. Wizard ended and before Beakman hit it big. I miss this show!!! All three of them >>>> Bill Nye
nice one, thank you so much for this sentimental piece
he stole beakmans jacket lol
@baarbear I remember this show too! I used to watch it waiting for Sonic the Hedgehog's SatAM back in the day.
This used to be on KCOP! I've been looking for this show and trying to remember the name of it fore years. I remember one episode the guy talked about tv shows are made and since it is a Saban show there is footage from the Power Rangers. I think he interviewed a few of the actors.
The cartoons I recall that aired on these came from Tatsunoko Productions, though they were made back in the early 70's. One was Tamagon the Counselor and another was "Kaba Toto" (re-titled as "Thomas and Hippo" I think).
So I'm not the only one who remembers this Beekman's World//Bill Nye The Science Guy ripoff. ;-D
