D'oh?! Of course it is!
The Beakman's World is one of my fave shows when I was a young. Not only it's funny, it's educational! (What a geek!)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To those who does not have an idea what is the BEAKMAN'S WORLD, let me introduce you to the very zany and colorful world of science... in Beakman's World of course!

This program is actually based on a comic strip... You got that right --- a comic strip. Imagine an educational illustration for kids on newsprint... Makes me sneeze... ah~choo! Beakman's World premiered in September, 1992 on The Learning Channel, featuring odd characters demonstrating comic experiments which can be enjoyed by kids and some adults of course! The program was cancelled in the year 1998 despite of it's popularity. This was seen in almost 90 countries around the world.

Here in the Philippines, I watched the show on RPN9 every afternoon and I was pretty much sucked into it. (with the swirling eyes!)

Here I present you guys, the actors who made this program a success...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ok... who would have thought that the person below would look as eccentric as...

...This one?
Fellas, his name is Paul Zaloom. The actor who played the role of Beakman. A crazy@ss scientist who knows all... (not really)

The gentleman below is named Mark Ritts. He portrayed the "cute" character in the Beakman's World...

...Lester the Rat...
Lester is actually a lab rat who reluctantly assists Beakman for their experiments. He only does this for food. He is actually my favorite character here. Heehee! On the first episodes of Beakman's World, Lester is actually a puppet... then was replaced by a real person (a puppeteer named Mark Ritts, d'oh!) clad in a worn ratsuit. Cute huh...

Beakman's assistants:

The very first assistant of Beakman is this lady:

Her name is Alanna Ubach. She played the role of Josie, Beakman's pioneer assistant.
I haven't seen her much when I was watching the Beakman's World. But I'm sure that she is one of the casts in Legally Blonde and Meet the Fockers. (you do the research you lazy@ss!)
On to the next Beakman lab assistant!

Here I gladly present you Beakman's second assistant...
...LIZA...

The actress you see below is named Eliza Jane Schneider.

She is known as Liza in the Beakman's World. And she is the first Beakman assisitant I ever saw on Philippine TV. She is actually a voice actress in some popular animated series like South Park and Invader Zim (Doom! To all earthlings!!!)

Beakman's last alb assistant is the very very cute Senta Moses...
She played the role of Phoebe... She actually played the longest in the Beakman series. And she's my favorite assistant as well.
I just learned one thing in the Beakman's World. If you're a very good-looking girl with promising talents and wit, don't be a Beakman assistant. It makes you ugly... If not, it makes you wear some horrible wardrobe...

The penguins on the next picture is named Don and Herb. They were usually seen at the beginning and end of the show where the scene practically takes place in the South Pole. Those nice critters...


Aside from these characters, there are those who were not mentioned:

• Beakman's Mom (Beakmom) played by the actress, Jean Stapleton
• Ray, another assistant of Beakman... I always only see his hands giving props and tools for Beakman (those nice hands...)
• and other characters played by the same actors (Paul Zaloom and Mark Ritts)

So that is the Beakman's World... I sure do miss this show.

On with the torrents!!!
