I remember the original broadcasting of the show, and what an awesome nostalgic moment, watching these clips. I was between 5 and 6 years old at the time they originally aired. Happy happy memories.
I was thinking to myself as you said it that I prefer the question mark. If I'm not mistaken, it's acceptable to end an emphatic question with an exclamation point. I think people these days mostly use "!?" or "??" to emphasize a question.
The program was produced by Global Television Network, which at the time, wasn't so much a network as it was a series of stations lining the southern Ontario corridor from Windsor (west) to Ottawa (east). It was merely an glorified indie station out of Toronto broadcasting through multiple transmitters, though I suppose it sold it's shows to other Canadian stations throughout the country in the process. It didn't become a real network until it passed through several hands as well as buying out other local/provincial indie stations to cover the country. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Television_Network
I sympathize for the prototypical millennials lack of appreciation for what came before them. Born in the world where infinite knowledge is delivered to their doorsteps, how could they appreciate the fact that if you did have an aptitude for science, that there wasn't anywhere one could get this sort of stimulation other than in a library or in your science class, and the material you COULD get was often dated. Science International was the moving picture equivalent to a weekly science journal, except you would frequently see cutting edge scientific innovation presented to you in moving glory. There wasn't any place else you could get this sort of live content. It's easy to lack the gravity of what that means. Bathroom books grow dated and scientific journals are intended for a more mature audience with the means to afford a weekly subscription. SI piggybacked on your existing cable subscription, essentially meaning that free life action cutting edge technology was being delivered to your home, weekly, for free. It was a fantastic show.. The era is very hard to appreciate but tvery easy to be ignorant of. I in fact did look forward to this program's 30 minute time slot every week. I was between 5 and 7 at the time of airing and remember many segments
As a kid born in 1973 in Canada I liked this show! I always found it a bit creepy for whatever reason much like "In Search Of" with Leonard Nemoy. Great walk down memory lane!
I remember the male host from a butt ton of guest starring roles on everything. He play the dad the mom had divorced on the original "One Day At A Time."
This was one of the first shows I've watched since I was introduced to Nickelodeon back around the spring of 1982 and saw enough to get familiar with it until the summer of 1984, the time period Danger Mouse and Belle Sebastian debuted. My initial reaction to this was, to put it lightly, as one of the extreme earliest precursors to another science related show on Saturday mornings almost 40 years later, Did I Mention Invention with Alie Ward. Only this was a hands-off program with only displays lectures with cartoon boards with a few scenes of live action of course. Totally low key, but like a lot of things, it had to start somewhere.
I remember really liking this show as a kid. The presentation style seems dry now, but I guess everything kind of was back then. Or maybe I was just a boring kid. I dunno.
I watch that show back in the 80's myself on nick. I enjoyed it. It reminded me of the Leonard Nimoy the reach of show. It also reminded me of the Saturday morning news clips show called In The News in the 70's and 80's. Maybe that's why it might have worked for me better. Because it was a science clip show. I do wish it would come in a more realistic manner. But then again wasn't their 2 versions of Ripley's Believe it or not. Hosted by Jack Palace in version one and Dean Cain in version two
You say The Lizard, I say the evil Senator Deveraux from Days of Our Lives. And yet I'm old enough to remember him from THIS first! Also, RIP Mr. Campanella who passed in May of this year.
While these science shows were dry, the quick jumps to this fact, this robot, this car, were quick enough to hold you. I loved any show like that in the early 80s
Joseph Campanella also played the ex-husband of Ann Rimano on the prime-time TV show 'One Day at A Time' at roughly same time 1976-79. The show that included McKenzie Philips & Valerie Bertinelli. ua-cam.com/video/WVq6b8IawXc/v-deo.html
I watched this show on Canadian television as a five or six year old kid (CBC or CTV--we didn't have Global where I lived at the time.) I liked it and it held my attention, though the full theme creeped me out and some of the footage did, too. Back in the 70s, if you were a kid and you didn't have cable TV and someone was showing a cartoon and/or science, you'd watch it. I also used to watch Untamed World and they'd show ten minutes of a beetle running around with no narration.
They should have Joseph narrate a full segment, and the lady narrate a full segment and off and on. The constant switching of those two narrating one segment drove me nuts.
This show feels like one of those retro educational videos your teacher would play
Kameron Biggs Seems like something the substitute would drag out the VHS player for.
Kameron Biggs agreed just showed this video my dad didn’t have cable in the 80s he said it reminded him of 321 contact what this uploader showed😉

I liked watching this show back in the day. From this show, I learned what a hovercraft was.
"Bathroom book of television" is a brilliant assessment.

Question marks in titles are often seen as 'bad luck' in the film industry. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" doesn't have one either.
@Studio 404 One of my all-time favorite movies. I watched it so many times on home video, I wore out the tape and had to buy another
That was a question, who framed him?!
Loved watching this show when it was on during my middle school years.
This show showed us CD's before they hit market.
Just Imagined The Lizard Giving a Science Lecture.
You say The Lizard, I say the evil Senator Deveraux from Days of Our Lives. And yet I'm old enough to remember him from THIS first! Also, RIP Mr. Campanella who passed in May of this year.
this was my favorite show growing up as a kid in Toronto in the late 70s.
I laughed out loud at the Beta Minus bit. Was not expecting that call out to MwM.
The Lizard I can't forget that voice
7:04 35 years later those finally caught on!

I mean, wow, that sounds really boring. Not just green veggies, raw green veggies sprinkled with vitamins.
That's just how we were!
Man a least steam it in some saltwater. Makes you wonder how the kids side of PBS survived all these years.
Well, now I'm going to be thinking about baby fridges all day.
I loved this show! Was my favorite in fourth grade, along with You Cant Do That On Television.

I remember first learning about a new technology called cell phones on Science International in the 70s.
i just realized the male narator of the show sounds almost like the host of unsloved mysteries lol.
From the Wide World Of Wonka-wait.
I remember hating this show. I was too young for it and thought it was boring AF. But I loved Mr. Wizard!
Awesome video reminds me of 321 contact that classic pbs show Nickelodeon has down hill since 1996 with its live action programming 😊
Discover, narrated by Dr. Curt Connors. XD
Oh wow! I forgot what this show was called! It was the first thing I would watch when I got home school! It was good! Thank you!
Woah this made me realise firemen in the uk used to look like fireman sam omg
Oh sweet that is Doc Conners
I'm surprised you managed to get 20 minutes out of this.
They should have Joseph narrate a full segment, and the lady narrate a full segment and off and on. The constant switching of those two narrating one segment drove me nuts.
The male host dated Dorothy on the Golden Girls once.
Reminds me of How it's Made. Love that show.
Beta Minus made me laugh out loud in public and at least 5 people looked at me... awesome.
The low views on these videos is criminal, dawg.
"nickelodeon owes most of its success today to Canada." hmm I guess I will say for all of Canada... You're Welcome Spongebob fans.
Parapsychology is no less valid than religion.
BETA MINUS
Funny: I loved this show and found Bill Nye... tedious and insulting.
yeah that whole thing did NOT age well, yikes. but an interesting look at the show, at any rate.
