Educational TV hell.
13 August 2003
Our biology teacher showed us this in middle school, so that not only could we learn about marine life and the ocean, but also learn sign language, she said eagerly at the start of the series.

By the time it was over, even she was apologizing.

This was bad, bad, bad. Normally, school kids will leap at the chance to watch a TV program, so they won't have to do real work. That's one of the reasons 'Square One,' '3-2-1 Contact,' and most especially, 'Bill Nye The Science Guy,' are so beloved.

This, however, had us dreading the start of each bio class, for it meant another gut-wrenching high-seas voyage on the Mimi. We regularly debated which was worse, the writing or the acting.

Again: bad, bad, bad. Teachers, stay away.
