The Kinetic Karnival of Jearl Walker

PBS (ended 1982)

In 1981, a physics professor named Jearl Walker was asked to show some of the science tricks he used in his classes on the ABC prime-time series That's Incredible! But walker didn't want to be exploited in such a fashion. This opened the door for Cleveland's WVIZ (as it was then called) to showcase Walker for a show of their own. The result was The Kinetic Karnival of Jearl Walker. It was made available nationwide to schools for almost two decades and earned an Emmy award (though only six shows were shot). Walker demonstrated that physics dictates no fluid corn starch will spill if you slam your hand into it. This, plus other fantastic demonstrations, provided the energy for the series. A great deal of material for the series was derived from Walker's articles in Scientific American magazine and in his 1977 book The Flying Circus of Physics with Answers, so not all of these lectures were foreign. Certainly Walker's students are familiar with these stunts, including balancing a spoon on your nose. But all these facts are fascinating to the world around us.moreless

Jacques Pépin's Kitchen: Encore with Claudine

PBS (ended 1999)

Jacques Pepin's Kitchen: Encore with Claudine is a famous cooking series produced by KQED-TV for PBS.

In every episode, Jacques teaches Claudine recipes which are inspired by both French and American gourmet cooking. Basics are taught such as cleaning salad greens up to boning and stuffing quail. Most recipes have an American feel despite the apparent French influence and need minimal ingredients and direction. As the first show with his daughter started in 1995, this series is only one of the many shows the father-daughter tandem hosted. Pepin is very noted for being the personal chef of three French head of states before coming to the United States in 1959. He particularly channels this expertise well by teaching the general public through these shows. This series ran for about six months before finally ending in April 1, 1999.moreless

Cooking Secrets from the CIA

PBS (ended 2000)

There is something unique about the Northern California wine country. Among its best-kept secrets is the Culinary Institute of America (yes, that's a CIA for short). At the instutute, master chefs give lessons to trainees. In 1995, Canada's Knowledge Network began producing a series of cooking programs with the CIA and another secretive group, Marjorie Poore Productions. The result was Cooking Secrets of the CIA, which ran five years on American public television. Guides for this and several other Marjorie Poore cooking series (including Cook-Off America, Seasonings with Dede Wilson and Master Class at Johnson & Wales) would not have been possible without the good grace of Jeff Moss, the son of Cooking Secrets of the CIA's first director.moreless

Math Wise

PBS (ended 1981)

With the 1980s came new thrust at AIT, one of the instructional-television leaders. AIT began the decade with the Secondary Schools Education Television Project. Math Wise was the second half of that project: a mathematics-in-the-real-world series. Each program began with host Stephanie Edwards (a famed Los Angeles TV personality) presenting mathematics in real-life occupations. That sequence only lasted about two minutes. For the rest of the show, a (usually humorous) scene played itself out, showing secondary-school-age children putting mathematical concepts to good use for the problems they faced. Math Wise was divided into four concepts: measuring, comparing, locating/interpreting, and predicting. To cover these concepts, four locations were chosen: a farm, a marina, a small town, and a city. Frequently characters from each setting would cross over into the another setting, so as to reinforce the idea that all these mathematical concepts coalesce. Math Wise was produced for AIT by The Thom Eberhardt Company in the facilities of KOCE, Huntington Beach, California.moreless

Actor Michael O'Brien narrates the economist's humble upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, and takes the audience on a journey through Friedman's life up to his teaching commission at the University of Chicago. PBS then focuses on Friedman's conservative economic theories that embrace small government and strict monetary policy. Interviews from leading economists, including Alan Greenspan, Gary Becker and Paul Samuelson, play throughout the season. The famous men talk about how Friedman's ideas, implemented into American society by President Ronald Regan, contributed to a freer and more liberal nation. PBS cameras also travel to South America and Europe in search of economic leaders who grasped Friedman's progressive ideas. By the end of the season, viewers become well informed on the subjects of consumption analysis and complex stabilization policy. moreless
