My buddy talked about buying his boy the new Pokémon game and talked about how when we were kids Pokémon was synonymous with Christmas. Sunrise. Sunset.
I like how no one cares that the guy still kind of scammed her. He should have known the weather conditions of Australia when he started the business. I know I'm probably overthinking this lol
I remember years after I watched this I suddenly realized that Sherman technically could have been running a scam by tricking unknowledgeable consumers into going to Australia in the wrong season, and I was like “wait, how did proving that the seasons are caused by tilt and not distance prove he wasn’t running a scam?” And now, after several more years of getting torn up by this question, I’m back here watching this to see if I can answer that question. Edit: And the answer is that I just forgot that his programs didn’t require you to take them in a specific month. I can sleep now.
True they don't, however it seems to be that they take place in the northern hemisphere summer months and are located in the northern hemisphere. We don't know the details but from the lawsuit the plaintiff lady had a reservation for a class in the summer of the northern hemisphere, because if not why would it matter that there wouldn't be a summer? They never specified that they were in the northern hemisphere but by saying that she vacationed in Australia last June (or at least a previous June) it implies she doesn't live there and therefore this takes place in the norther hemisphere because that's when June is summer and that's when they were expecting it to be summer
I remember being in fourth grade and being horrified that another kid thought that the seasons were determined by distance- I didn’t know how they worked, only that the Southern Hemisphere had inverse seasons to the Northern Hemisphere, and so it couldn’t possibly be that, but I knew that
@@paulguseman6004 Yep, quite a lot of history with these people. The studio that did this show began as a computer educational software company in the 80's. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup2Nuts
I still remember watching these in my gifted class. It was a different episode and the interactive version, I think the topic was water, and peer pressure got to us apparently cause someone stood up for the wrong answer, and everyone else did too
I've always liked Science Court, but I feel it would have been more effective if Doug didn't always lose. It quickly got to a point where there wasn't any real guess-work or discussion, because you just automatically knew Doug was wrong. If it wasn't a certainty that Doug was going to lose, you could have some more engaging classroom discussions about the subject.
Kinda lol she specifies 50 Fahrenheit, because she's just come from Australia where people use Celsius. (and 50 Celsius is not unheard of for outback Australia in the summer)
@@MrSlanderer Yes, we have to keep that mind. They at least knew how to do an educational program, having began as a computer software company in the 80's before going into animation.
@@ChristopherSobieniak Yeah I don't think I'd be able to enjoy a world where we didn't have a tilt. That would mean no winter or summer, and also no relief from my hay fever. x.x
Okay, good, I wasn't crazy. I had vague memories of watching cartoons and seeing some weird squiggly court show on ABC. I could have sworn I saw Brendan and Paula on the show, but I guess it was just mixing in with home movies...
