You wouldn't download an exhausted teacher...

Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!

Bill Nye the science guy!

I have that intro song as my phone's ringtone. It was always a joyful day when my teachers would pull out the TV on a cart and play an episode of Bill Nye.

Me sitting at the back of the room against the wall 40 feet away from the monitor, surrounded by 30 teenagers all whispering in the dark: ..... I can't hear the TV!

We got to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure once!

Also, I had an extremely lazy English teacher who would show us TOS Star Trek episodes when she didn't feel like teaching. That was awesome.

I loved those Eyewitness videos with the intro flying through a CG museum. Still get nostalgic for them sometimes when TierZoo uses that theme song XD

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Voyage of the Mimi theme song intensifies.

The TV is not period correct. Source: 2000's kid

Edit: Neither is the VCR, it looks mid-late '80s

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So it's period correct for an underfunded middle school in the 00s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lol maybe, VCR's are a bitch to service though. It probably would have been cheaper to replace it. I have no basis for that, just guessing. Feel free to call me out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh for sure, doesn't stop schools from trying

Source: 2000s kid that regularly had to watch stuff on these in the 2010s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

My daughter was born in 2010 and she has experienced the TV/VCR combo on wheels multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It's funny, I have an old JVC VCR from about that time that I want to get serviced. Maybe some time if there's anyone left alive who knows how.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Your school was well funded.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I went to a well funded school in New England, this was period correct even as late as 2013. For VHS especially these carts were still in use, but starting in maybe 2007/2008 some teachers would use their computer + VGA projector setup for DVDs. Especially since there weren't enough carts to go around
