Overviewīeakman’s World is an educational children’s television show. CBS aired 4 seasons and 90 episodes for now. A Spanish-dubbed version aired on Univision (titled El Mundo de Beakman) as part of its Planeta U programming block.Beakman’s World (US, CBS) aired on 1992 and belongs to the following categories: Comedy, Family, Kids. It is distributed by Sony Pictures Television in the U.S. Mark Ritts (Lester) was also one of the puppeteers operating the penguins.īeakman's World plays in weekend syndication in the United States and in several other countries. The penguins were named after Don Herbert, who starred as Mr. The show addressed this during the second season, by having Lester exclaim to Beakman (as he was explaining the science behind a trick) "AIR PRESSURE! IT'S ALWAYS AIR PRESSURE!".Īt the beginning and end of the show, as well as before or after commercial breaks, the show featured short scenes portraying puppet penguins, Don (voiced by Bert Berdis) and Herb (Alan Barzman), at the South Pole watching Beakman’s World on television. During the first season, virtually every challenge related to either Air Pressure or Bernoulli's Principle. During this segment, Beakman would challenge Lester to do a stunt that illustrated a basic scientific feat. One segment of the show was the famed "Beakman Challenge". When Senta Moses was added to the show's cast, the producers began to use a majority of the sound effects from the NBC game show Scrabble. Zaloom also appeared as various 'guest scientists' and historic figures, such as Thomas A. Boring (also played by Paul Zaloom, in a dual role) makes appearances and talks about various science topics. In some of the skits during the show the character Professor I.M. Actress Jean Stapleton also appeared on the show as Beakman's mother, "Beakmom". Ray assists Beakman by handing him various items, such as the "boguscope." It is suggested throughout the program that Ray has a romantic crush on the show's unnamed makeup lady. Another occasional cast member is the unseen cameraman "Ray," who is played by prop-master Ron Jancula's hands. Sometimes unwilling to help out, Lester was often persuaded by Beakman with the promise of food. In a running joke, it was never asserted that his character was actually supposed to be a rat rather he was specifically identified by himself and others as a guy in a rat suit, or as a serious actor with a bad agent. In the pilot episode, Lester was a puppet, but in every subsequent episode he was simply a clueless, crude man (Mark Ritts) in a tattered rat suit. Beakman was also assisted by his "lab rat" Lester. The assistant's name changed throughout the show's run for the episodes of season 1, it was Josie (played by Alanna Ubach) for the episodes of seasons 2 and 3, it was Liza (played by Eliza Schneider) and for the episodes of season 4, it was Phoebe (played by Senta Moses). Over the years, Beakman was aided in his experiments by a female assistant just as in the comic strip on which it was based. When his experiments were successful, he would often exclaim "Zaloom!", referring to his last name. The program starred Paul Zaloom as Beakman, an eccentric scientist who performed comical experiments and demonstrations in response to viewer mail to illustrate various scientific concepts from density to electricity to flatulence.
