Best movie ever!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I never saw a better way to teach science to young people. Even for lay adults, Beakman's world is the best way to teach science because it turns it simple and easy to understand. The series show a lot of difficult themes in a way everyone can understand, and makes it a funny journey. As a scientist myself, I definitely recommend it for everyone. Too bad we had only four seasons!

From what I remember... CBS and it's executives took a stand over Beakman explaining to a viewer's letter of "why" flatulence "had sound" and Beakman explained in nutritional and clinical terms of what happens to the body as it passes gas. Remember this is the same Network as "Touched By An Angel" and "Murder She Wrote". Hello... They canceled Pee-Wee for something the Actor did in his free time. (Ok... not so good for kids to know, But...) Although their standards have loosened, at that time, such terminology (like "Sphinkter") in a teaching show for children, was unacceptable. I wish I could remember the name of the episode. IMDb is limited in the episode content.

This show was a scream- funny, smart and just plain fun. I was a teacher in my 40's when I discovered it, and never missed a show. I learned things I didn't know, and still use in classes. The pace frenetic. The three characters worked together like fingers. Beakman was frantic and a riot, Lester the Rat was the best sidekick ever seen on television, and of the women- all great, but Josie was my favorite! The show explained science in ways that anyone could understand, and left you wanting to know more. I'm 50 now, and just discovered it's on re-runs- I hope it outlives me. What fool pulled the plug on it? I hope whoever decided to is bagging groceries.

An absolutely brilliant series. This is one of those unforgettable shows which not only used over 1000 sounds in one show but had the most brilliantly characterised actors such as Beakman (Paul Zaloom) and the enthusiasm put into it just makes science more interesting by far.The only problem was the fact that it stopped running and that Liza was replaced by Josie. Liza just had that amazing spark like Beakman and Lester, however she was replaced soon by Josie who had little to no talent. It always seems the good shows out there are the first taken off and replaced by absolute junk.But anyway, brilliant show. They deserve every ounce of credit they get.
