Movie Reviews of Best of Beakman's World
Movie Review: Beakman rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
This long awaited DVD is good ... very good .. but it could be better. This is nothing more than the video previously released on VHS. If fact Beakman refers numerous times to "this tape" or "halfway thru the tape" during the video.
AND the previews of other videos are all OLD movies.
BUT, at least we have Beakman on DVD. Only an hour, but what an hour it is. Beakman along with lab rat Lester, and sidekick Jose do numerous scientific experiments. Explaning how to do them (safely) and why things do what they do. Each experiment is a "chapter" so you can go to a specific experiment easily.
I'm dissapointed that this was not a new collection made just for DVD. AND .. I suspect that, while it is also available in your local video store, it will not sell very well ... WHY? .. because it will be hard to find unless you are specifially looking for it .. and even then you may need to ask an employee (of course you can buy it here on AMAZON instead)
What I'm REALLY waiting for is complete seasons .. but if they are "testing the waters" with this DVD and it doesn't sell well, they will likely not release anything further :-(
SUGGESTION: It's cheap enough .. why not buy an extra copy and donate it to your local public library?
