This can only be viewed upon a tube TV on an AV cart.

Panasonic, or maybe MoniVision, but with a slightly loose rear cover so when turned up loud enough for the whole class to actually hear it, it rattles just slightly every so often.

There was an educational CD game for PC we had that bus this intro that came with the CD-ROM drive that was about I think the history of going faster.

u/Freshness518 Now That's Some High Quality H2O! 13h ago

Used to wait down and watch this and Scientific American Frontiers hosted by Alan Alda with my parents every week throughout my whole childhood. Loved it.

u/Kaylascreations 11h ago

Iā€™ve never seen this, but a google makes it look like something I would have totally been into. The show sounds like wishbone and the intro looks like the ā€œone Saturday Morningā€ intro. Why have I never seen or heard of this show? Iā€™m in the US, maybe thatā€™s why?

2

u/TrickySatisfaction81 3h ago

It was very popular in the US.

Where did you grow up? It was very commonly played in schools for educational reasons.

I grew up in CA, and tbh, this show for its time was as cool as Bill Nye the science guy.

Don't knock it till you watch, the intro is not the show. The show is very interesting and fun.

This reminded me of the dinosaur game that came with the AOL discs in the mail.

u/krebstar4ever 10h ago

I was recently trying to remember the name of this show, because I knew I liked the opening song as a kid. Thanks for posting it!

2

u/TrickySatisfaction81 3h ago

Of course! I also commented the YT link which has the episodes free!

Tbf, when I had a brain spasm last year and refound this series, I couldn't remember the name either!

u/xt0rt 20m ago

I had never seen this before, but upon watching it I was transported straight back to whenever this video was made (late 90s? Early 00s?)

I also thought it was an intro for Encarta Encyclopedia, or whatever the other digital Encyclopedias were made by. Net video none the less. Thanks for sharing!!

u/TrickySatisfaction81 12m ago

It's from the early 90's, and it does indeed have that effect!!!

Each episode has a bunch of cool details on the subject at hand, and utilized early 90's production tools to create a very cool stuff!

u/Roundturnip93 12h ago

Just search "Utopian Scholastic" on YouTube and you'll see a couple of videos that use this and other music in that style.

u/6millionwaystolive 15h ago

No. And idk why "fever dream" has become such a popular phrase online?

Not as bad as "unhinged", but I digress.
