Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Crowning Moment of Awesome (Name another kids show that can confront viewers fears about a scary environmental problem, in this case being ozone layer depletion, head on with understanding and balance with the empowering, "Let's turn that fear into knowledge!")
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff (Or, Brazilians love Lester...)
    • It was also quite popular in Mexico.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: When Beakman explores how cars work, Lester states that they run off of explosions right off the bat. Josie tries to silence him, saying that the viewers won't bother to watch if they already know the answer, but Lester replies that they'll tune in to watch explosions. Fast forward to a certain other Edutainment Show.
    • Also the fact that there was an occasional segment actually called Mythbusters, which would point out common misconceptions, such as how pencils are often stated to write with lead, when they actually use graphite.
  • Replacement Scrappy:
    • Phoebe was hated by fans even more so than Liza, due to the fact that she's not Josie or Liza.
      • Most likely also because Phoebe is less friendly towards Lester, and that she had a tendency to be a smart-aleck.
    • Liza gets some hatred from fans for not being Josie, but she gets it fairly easy compared to Phoebe.
  • Uncanny Valley: She may appear different in the actual show, but look at this promotional picture: https://web.archive.org/web/20080911002216/http://www.sonypictures.com/tv/kids/beakmansworld/ WHAT IS THAT CREATURE on the right?? Some kind of "adult-child hybrid"??? Maybe it's more of Uncanny Valley Makeup and Uncanny Valley Hairdo though.
