On September 18, 1993 it moved from national syndication to CBS Saturday morning children’s lineup. At the peak of its popularity, it was seen in nearly 90 countries around the world. The series was canceled in 1998. Reruns returned to national syndication in September 2006, after which it was transferred to local stations such as KICU.

Beakman's World Audience Reviews

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
hztomassi I never saw a better way to teach science to young people. Even for lay adults, Beakman's world is the best way to teach science because it turns it simple and easy to understand. The series show a lot of difficult themes in a way everyone can understand, and makes it a funny journey. As a scientist myself, I definitely recommend it for everyone. Too bad we had only four seasons!
insomniac_rod It was all about having fun and learning at the same time. I remember watching this anytime I could catch it on México's cultural channel by excellence (channel 11). I watched it's reruns and never got tired of it because I have to admit that I learned a lot from it. I didn't care if I was out of school or whatever, Beakman taught me on biology, science, physics aspects. I had a great time with the show's colorful art direction and atmosphere.The performances were funny and witty. I just was addicted to this show. It's sad to admit that when puberty comes to you, you just can't help but forget about such great shows like this one. I wish my kids will have the chance to watch it.
donbuckIII From what I remember... CBS and it's executives took a stand over Beakman explaining to a viewer's letter of "why" flatulence "had sound" and Beakman explained in nutritional and clinical terms of what happens to the body as it passes gas. Remember this is the same Network as "Touched By An Angel" and "Murder She Wrote". Hello... They canceled Pee-Wee for something the Actor did in his free time. (Ok... not so good for kids to know, But...) Although their standards have loosened, at that time, such terminology (like "Sphinkter") in a teaching show for children, was unacceptable. I wish I could remember the name of the episode. IMDb is limited in the episode content.
Matthew Goff This show was so great. Why did they ever stop making it. Beakman had the COOLEST experiment, the wildest hair, and the craziest assistants. Especially Lester the dim-witted Rat. Jean Stapleton as Beakman's mom was hilarious. Saturday morning TV was never the same when this show went away. I wish I could find it on video.
