The Voyage Of The MimiThe Voyage of the Mimi was a 13 episode educational TV program that featured the crew of the Mimi exploring the ocean and taking a census of humback whales. The show was created by The Bank Street College of Education in 1984 to teach middle-schoolers about science and math in an interesting and interactive way, where every lesson related to real world applications. Every other episode was a completely educational learning episode, where you were taught something scientific relating the previous plot episode of the show. For example, they'd have a plot episode about obtaining drinkable water, and turn it into a lesson about condensation, heat, and the three states of matter. Or they'd take an episode about the captain becoming hypothermic, and turn it into a lesson about the body. Every lesson had accompanying student and teacher handouts or worksheets. The Voyage of the Mimi starred a young Ben Affleck as C.T. Granville, and Peter Marston as his uncle Captain Granville. Marston is a scientist at MIT and owns the actual Mimi ship. There was a second series produced, The Second Voyage of the Mimi, where the two Granvilles, along with other archaeologists, searched for a lost Mayan city, and uncovered a hokey Scooby Doo-like conspiracy along the way.
