Newton's Apple early Intro/Theme

Here is intro/theme for Newton's Apple. This was taken from Season 2, episode 1 (1984). Hosted by Ira Flatow (1983-1987). Note that the music was different. This was shown on PBS for 15 years from 1983-1998. People would write and send questions to see how science and the real world works. Sort of like the science show "Beakman's World."

Hello. NO NO. NO.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

This must be the music the show used after Kraftwerk sued over the use of "Ruckzuck." Peace.

[pressmin]

No, Newton's Apple used this music BEFORE they used "ruckzuck" came in around 1988.

I had totally forgotten about this show until this clip.

as a kid i wrote in and asked them why all mass exerts a gravitational force. i got a letter back saying they could not, at the time, answer my question. i was very disappointed.  but now i get to say that i stumped newton's apple.

Did Newton's Apple re-run until 1999 after it season ended on January 3, 1998?

This show is the reason I almost killed myself due to eletrocution, I was about 5 going 6 years old

My mom produced the show

[dustindo]

who the hell cares about the theme song? The SHOW was the best.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

The 1983-89 shows, if they're ever to get a DVD release, will probably not get the original "Ruckzuck" restored on them because, of course, the licensing restrictions.

@pressmin

hmh...

"Ruckzuck" was used as the theme song for the defunct PBS show Newton's Apple in the United States. It was used without permission. Later episodes of the show feature an unknown cover version of the song.
